Comments on: British Educators Tell Girls to Face “Reality” and Accept They May Not Be Able to “Have To All” http://thelaughingstork.com/2009/11/british-educators-tell-girls-they-may-not-be-able-to-have-to-all/ Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:28:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kate, an American in London http://thelaughingstork.com/2009/11/british-educators-tell-girls-they-may-not-be-able-to-have-to-all/comment-page-1/#comment-4828 Kate, an American in London Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:45:36 +0000 http://thelaughingstork.com/?p=9365#comment-4828 It is important to note that UK maternity leave laws allow for 6 months paid leave, with an option to take another 6 unpaid, but with full job security.
