Americans have maternity leave under the Family Medical Leave Act but it's a paltry 12 weeks and unpaid.

So for many people, including these teachers, they have the choice of paying your bills or taking care of your kid or begging your coworkers to please give up their vacation days so you can continue to live while having a baby

Like every other third world country.
