Should all high school students be required to take parenting classes as part of the curriculum?
No. I think parents should start doing their jobs and being responsible parents. I personally have Parenting on my option sheet for next year, but I do not think it should be a required course at all. In my opinion, the doll they make you carry around (if they do), is NOT a real baby. I’m not even sure I will be able to take it seriously. They only have a limited amount of time to teach you stuff, and, well, I just don’t see how it should be required. Why I am taking it next year? Well, I just wanted an easy class to put on my schedule and I’m sure I’ll pass it already without much effort. I already know that parenting is not easy, and I doubt the class will even teach me how to be a proper mother — more like THEIR ideas on what a proper mother should be. My parents are good examples of parents and they answer our questions, so I don’t need the stupid class to tell me how to be a parent, since my parents already do a good job at explaining things to us. My parents did and still do the
Yes. High schoolers should have to take at least a year of “parenthood”. This would help those who plan to become parents in the future, and keep those who want to now. To many teens are parents(i mean 17 and under). This class would show teens what hell they would have to go through. This is even coming from a high schooler!! But, many have had good points with it being the parents job. I think it is a mix of both. But, too many parents are being fucking lazy and just letting there kids run free there entire lives, and then wonder why they are a parent at 15!! There are few true parents these days. The next few generations of people are going to be a doozy, because of how out of control kids are. So many people are just out of control because they were never taught the difference between right and wrong. Teens need to know at least about sex and the possibility of a kid. Don’t do it unless you are willing to spend the rest of your life with that person. Because too many kids have to g
I do believe that students ought to be mandated to take parenting classes, perhaps as part of a life skills or health class. We want to end the cycle of uneducated children having children, having children, having children, generation after generation, especially in our cities and in the rural areas. I am encouraged to see that now at least teens are staying in school, regardless of who will keep/raise the children.
