Good idea...but then taxpayers would pay for having licenced staff *wink*
This whole thing is tho...it's almost a damned if you do, damned if you don't proposition.
And I honestly feel when doing things like this, it really undermines the already low bar of the educational system that we have in this country.
Not only would the ones in question get 4 weeks (provided that there are no complications) but they need to miss days to go to the doc and so forth...
I think that this program isn't encouraging them to go and get back into school and moreso pushing them towards dropping out...
If this plan is well thought out, I would like to see a provision in there somewhere that shows that while the mother is out, she get materials from the school that would allow her to keep up with what's going on in class....
Reality of it tho....is how many would really take advantage of that program?
