    I was a high schooler last year and by this standard, every single one of my classmates’ parents are complete failures, including mine. Not that I disagree, but clearly we can’t trust the parents to do anything about this.

      If the parents fail the parents fail, the kids at the high school and up age should understand the values of education and the importance of paying attention. If they want to fuck up their lives that’s on them. Giving the government more power to do shit like this will only lead to headache and abuse of power, the same story as every other time the government is given more power.

      Yeah because most of our parents are trash at it and make kids because “that’s what people do”

      Because this is not about trust. Don’t overestimate your or your kid’s contribution. Our brains seek to use as little energy and effort as possible, always. The right strategy is to reduce the amount of distracting factors in school.
