Maternity leave should be granted to High School Students.

I was eating chow in the Mess Hall at Fort Hunter Ligget in a barren destination in California. As I sit there eating my breakfast I was shocked to see a Fox News story out of Colorado. The report was about children receiving Maternal leave from school. The lawyer stated that these young mothers need at the minimum 3 weeks off of school without penalty. This new law also permits the mother to skip all home schooling or internet classes. The lawyer stated that these un penalize 3 weeks are for bonding with mother and child and the lawyer stated that the most important thing is the mother's education. We all must know already that the education system is one of the governments largest monopolized expenditure. So with so much money that runs the education system it is no surprise some dirt bag looks to exploit. I feel this is yet another example that our liberties are slowly fading away while government expands like the malignant cancerous tumor it is. I find this law if passed would be flawed for the following reasons: - The alternatives to missing school. - Problems with the young mothers and how they will prioritize life, education and their new family. - The problem with granting more power to the government. The report started of by stating that the most important thing that they want to come from this new legislation is the continued successful education of the child. So in this paragraph I will discuss the way in which the mother to be can continue her education while she mothers her child. In or in close proximity to almost every location in America there are centers where a child can be enrolled in a home schooling program. If education is truly important this is an extremely appropriate substitute for in school education. On dish network which is the provider of my television needs. Dish network offers a variety of home school classes over a satelite program that u can enroll for in which questions can be ask and classes can be held by watching the appropriate channel and calling in over the phone. So while the parent stays home to care for her child the mother is able to continue her edducation. An instead of a temporary fix for three weeks a mother is able to finish her school from home with out the inconvenience of finding baby sitter. Prioritizing ones daily life is not as easy as it once was for the new mother. If this law passes it basically gives the government the power to tell you how to live your life. "If you give a person an inch they take a mile", is a very popular saying that always runs through my head when I think about government. I beg someone to tell me what governmental program is actually working and has not become a detriment to our society. For the sake of a clear and shorten opening I will conclude my first argument by telling everyone that I think the young mothers out their are very tough and brave individuals I will never truly know how they feel and ever be able to empathize with them, but I know that any young girl that decides to have there child and continue their education is truly brave, but with so many educational options that can be done their is no need for another arbitrary law to be passed that will only cause problems and and yet another governmental choke on our already struggling wallets.
