Old people are great

Wait, the state spends money on football?

Good luck raising the billions in tax money

High schools in Oklahoma almost universally spend fuckloads of cash on sports.

It would be super easy to carve out 20% of that for parenting classes.

... and now I will get some ramen <:dev:583695653524471874>

Just audit everything

There are countless beurocratic roles that could be yeeted

Why do they need parenting lessons? It was fine before the family was broken up

More we have to teach the values of the family unit

The money is already in the education budget. Just cut the fat off of some of the athletic programs, and offer parenting classes so that the next generation will be a little less fucked up.

You know, like what used to happen

I ask again, considering you ignored it

Why do we need it when we can just bring back the values of the family unit.

Botty

Idiot

You're honestly an idiot

We didn't need "parent lessons" before when we just shared family values.

@Mikey - That's literally part of how the class would be structured. It would be a semester long class on the importance of traditional family structures, combined with "How to not fuck up your kid 101"

Honestly, wasting money on such bollocks lessons isn't going to help

Yeah, fuck that

"Before" we didn't need literal armies of tech workers.

Changing world requires changing people.

Which is why you just promote family values lmao

Plus, parenting comes naturally to people. It's part of our DNA

It's down to the individual to do a good job

You can't reasonably expect to live your life as a truck driver, and have everything just "work out," especially if you're raising kids. The skill requirements expected of the average citizen keeps going up.

Truck drivers earn good money though

Especially in the US

@Mikey - Our "DNA" is about creating copies of ourselves, raising children to become exactly like us. That's fine if you're already a shining example of society, but not so fine when you're struggling or you're in a profession that's about to go the way of the dodo bird.

This sounds like a blackpill to me

Parenting classes could be about constant intergenerational improvement. Focus on generating more cognitively capable kids, so that society will be able to continue growing.

Our DNA is to care and raise a child in a good environment. These are helped to be enforced with good family values. We don't need your proposal of another pointless lesson when the moment you create a family, you begin to realise that it takes effort and time to raise a child right.

The jews

Have released me

((()))

What you are proposing is basically just a parenting help book. <:smugon:512048583806025739>

@Mikey - If you're a farmer, or a hunter-gatherer, or a factory worker in a steady job that's going to be there fifty years from now, then everything is fine. When the world is in flux, not so fine.

@Mikey pls explain how family values are necessary to reintroduce if they're so natural

If they just magically appear when you start a family, why aren't they appearing?

What's with all the single thots

Because of the culture we currently live in.
