It's an interesting problem actually...
Frankly I think there ought to be mandatory parenting classes for anyone
wanting kids. Not saying that's the cure (and God knows it could get rapidly
out of hand) but surely it would help to have a guide of some sort. We need
such instruction for all the other aspects of life but bringing a new one
into the world and getting it through is just completely left to Fate?
That's nuts. So those who don't know, or don't know how to pass it on --
send their kids into the world causing problems, or not knowing how to deal
with the problems that come upon them and it's left to the teachers,
because...well, they WORK with kids, they know all that stuff, they'll
handle it...

that's my view from the seats of the childless-doesn't-work-with-kids
section of the stadium anyway ...
