I have long thought that people shouldn't be allowed to be parents and this just really reaffirms that, as Americans push more and more parenting onto school workers anyway. It just blows my mind that something as important as teaching new people how to be people is just left up to people with random (and generally no) qualifications and how staggeringly widespread what is basically child abuse even from parents who aren't even necessarily abusive. There's a lot of knowledge necessary to even attempt to raise a kid properly.
for all of human history people who probably shouldnt be parents have been parents and have been teaching people how to be people for better or worse. the condition of modern children isnt en masse the fault of the parents. there’s a lot more in play here. being a parent is also the most basic human function, not even right but biological function
For most of human history, the community raised the children and biological parents had no special powers or responsibility (or ownership). The people most involved in raising kids would be—shockingly—not be ones the community thinks is bad at raising children
Then the family was invented and class society following that
