Maternity leave makes sense. It's time for a working mom to spend with their
newborns, heal, bond with the babies, and enjoy.
However, when a need for maternity leave comes from a high school in the Denver
area, well, then it's sad.
"Denver has one of the highest teen-pregnancy rates in the state.
Of every 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17, 54.5 will become pregnant in the city, compared with 24.3 throughout Colorado, according to state health statistics."
It's a shame that schools have to wrestle with such decisions and decide what
new programs are needed for their students who become pregnant.
