Actually it would be better to hold the parents to the same standards as the teachers. I need a license to become a teacher, all you needed to become a parent was a bottle of wine and the back seat of a station wagon.

A money making scam, nothing else. It proves nothing.

A teaching degree means nothing. It doesn't qualify one to become a teacher because it doesn't teach teaching majors how to teach. They are expected to learn on the job and I have been told that by more than one teacher because I specifically asked.

Licensing parents, eh? Thank you for revealing your socialist agenda. Nothing like more government control of our lives.

Your contempt for parents is duly noted.

They are expected to learn on the job and I have been told that by more than one teacher because I specifically asked. You were specifically told wrong. I had to take courses in my Major area and have classes in teaching as well as doing student teaching. This meant I had to have a "Master Teacher" that observed me on several occasions as well as a "Cooperating teacher" that supervised me day to day. This included review of lesson plans, interactions with students, etc.... Anyone that told you different was a liar or as ill informed as you still are.

By wintertimes own admission his/ her parenting skills were/ are considerably lacking. You yourself have said that putting children in public schools in tantamount (wintertime that means equivalent to or roughly equal to) child abuse. So if ole wintertime abused his/ her children by putting them in a public school while gallivanting around the globe maybe licenses for parents isn't a bad idea. (Note the previous comment was sarcastic comment intended to point out how ridiculous your twisting of my words are and a slam at wintertimes justification of using the public schools)

Your contempt for lousy parents is duly noted. Fixed it for you

This is doubtless rhetorical, not literal. Cheese whiz.
