Do you think women or parents, should have to pass a course or be certified to have children?
Answer:
Yes I do. I think everyone should be required to take Early Childhood Development by their Sophomore year in high school. Not as an elective but as a required course to graduate. It should fall under a Science credit.
Yes
ya
Absolutely not. That would be a ridiculous intrusion into people's lives.
No. But I think they should lose their kids if they abuse or neglect them.
Wouldn't that be amazing!
NO!!
I think they should have to pass a course in order to conceive and bring a child into this world. Especially men.
Although I believe some people should never have children it would almost be impossible to do something like this. Also they have taken enough of our rights away without taking away our rights to have children.
I think that is a brilliant idea. But how would you enforce it?
That's a good suggestion, but dunno how many takers you'll find for it. Parenting is no joke, so being prepared before you become one, can do no harm if not any good.
Selective breeding? Wasn't that Hitler's idea?
It just might solve a lot of problems. The concern is, how to implement it. Classes, reading books, homework? It would really help people prepare for the work they are about to go through. I think I'll go with "yes" for both Moms and Dads to be.
It makes sense, it really does. Lots of luck trying to implement that one, can you just see it now?.
Unfortunately, there are no manuels that come with kids, there are some scholls now that offer courses, we will see in years to come if they help...sure helped em with sex education...now they all know how to "do it" in 7th grade!!!
Without a doubt. You have to take a test to drive a car, for heaven's sake, but anyone can have a baby. We as a species would be well served to stop viewing producing babies as a right, and instead look at childrearing as a privilege.
Oh yes. I think some people should never pro-create.
No- I do not think they should HAVE to- there is no way the government can mandate that. I do however think that a class like that should be recommended.
This is ridiculous, parenting comes natural, its a natural instinct.
A certified paper would mean nothing to common sense
in raising children.
Our ancestors would roll over in the grave on this question.
sure but what would it prove, people take drivers tests all the time then once they get their licenses drive like idiots. A parent could pass the course then go do what ever they want and be dumb parents, you either have the instinct to be a parent or you don't that's nothing that a course can teach you.
That is truly a tough question. On one hand you have the fact that it is a natural human function that every woman has a right to decide or not to decide. On the other hand you have all the problems of child abuse and neglect and parents who , in general, are not ready to be parents. Where do you draw the line at who is able and who is not able to? I agree that there should be more courses offered to students to show them that being a parent is hard and takes more than having sex. As the father of 2 girls, I know when they get older, I will do everything I can to explain the joys and hardships of being a parent
Nope. Unconstitutional.
GREAT QUESTION...HELL YESS!! SO MANY DUMB PEOPLE HAVE KIDS,,AND ITS CREATING A DUMB WORLD..WE NEED TO SAVE CHILDREN FOR THE "PICK OF THE LITTER"
No. Even taking a course on raising kids doesn't mean a
someone would do a good job - it just means they passed a
course.
Sticky question there... How about giving a couple a copy of
a parenting book when the female discovers she is expecting?
I think it would be best if parent taught their children as they
grew older in how to be responsible, caring, and productive -
which in turn would be passed on to their children.
A lot of skill in raising kids is common sense stuff, which today
is not very common.
I think the only requirement for anyone to have kids is if they can afford them. Quit having babies and then expecting the tax payers to give you money to support them.
this day and age hell yes too many want kids till they have to raise them then they dump them some where but i would raise them if they bring them to me
I think that this is a great idea. But it should go both ways. Men and women need to be better prepared to have children. Maybe then we wouldn't have as many 14 year olds 7mo pregnant and fathers before the age of 18.
I believe there are some parents out there that should be educated. We have forgotten what the most important part of parenting is. Mothers, fathers, and grandparents are too busy trying to prove who is the best parent, anymore. The best PARENTS out there should be busy trying to prove to their children they that they can take time out to spend with them. We are all competeing against each other and teaching our children to do the same. A mother should just be a mother, a father should just be a father, and a grandparent should just be a grandparent.
Just because someone would pass a course or get certified to have children does not mean they would be better parents. Look at the abuse and deaths of many adopted children. THose parents were checked over, had homestudies done to make sure they were fit parents, etc, etc...It didnt make a bit of difference in those certain parents to do that. So I dont think it would make a bit of difference if someone was certified to have them. No parents are absolutley perfect anyways.
thats a very interesting question. I dont think people should HAVE to pass a course but if there was a course available to show people how hard it can be to be a parent then i woulda signd up for it. Parents are getting younger every year and more children are being taken into care every year if ther was a course to show paople exactly what parenthood was all about i think some of these teenagers would think twice about having a baby. x
No I do not... But I do think high risk people should be watched better. Then they wouldn't have the chance to mess things up for themselves or the children them may bring into the world.
ABSOLUTLEY!!! Sadly enough there are women out there having babies like it's a hobby when the reality is they should'nt raise pups!! But here in Canada as long as you keep having them, the government will keep paying you to raise them! Fit or not fit!!
