I don't win. You're the one that suggested the fathers take part in it, too. And that's only fair. I don't understand why girls are always the ones to pay for stupid, hormone-driven mistakes that boys make.

I totally agree. If you think you are responsible enough to engage in sex, you better be responsible enough to raise a child! That's the risk you take.

I have heard of on-site daycare centers at high schools-- one of the schools in Evansville has one. It was the home-ec classes that helped to staff it- you could take an early childhood education class and get to work there.

However I heard that they had to stop allowing the Moms (and Dads I guess) access to the daycare during the school day because it was becoming "cool" for someone to leave class to go check on their kids. So now they can only go during study hall or lunch.

I do like the waiver idea, though.

To speak about the part for Maternity Leave...
My school district had schools that they would send pregnant girls to, if they wanted to go. My friend went to one, but it had 5 flights of stairs and no elevators so she whould have been better off at our school. She was allowed time after she had her son. I am not sure how much, but she had to do all of the work assigned to her.
