    Fun Fun...

    Another facet of parenting being taken over by government and tech.
    [...snip...]
    Government overreach, and a solution looking for a problem.

    I 100% agree. Part of the issue that I see is that parents are not
    carrying their weight when it comes to this particular issue. Maybe they
    don't know how or can't.

    I don't think the government should be reaching into this... they should be encouraging parents to get more involved (and maybe holding them accountable)... but I do think there is a problem.

    I think the good version of
    government's role in this would be
    government sponsored classes for
    parents combined with some incentive to
    get them to take said course, or
    providing it for free in some obvious
    public way. But of course, they'd
    rather capture more public data and
    entrench the police state. Same as it
    ever was.

    I think parents in earlier times... like the parents who blamed their kids,
    and not the school, when their kid misbehaved and got in trouble in
    school... might be more likely to be interested in such assistance.

    These days, I doubt you will get much participation in any such class for a multitude of reasons.

    I agree that, yes, the government would rather Big Brother it than anything else.
