Nope, I'm hella smart.
Parents used to be in charge of this kind of thing, but they obviously can't be bothered by it. It's also a parent's job to help a kid at school, but there are still tutors out there. It's a parent's job to teach a child about health, but PE still exists. I think it's time to admit that most parents aren't going to do what most people consider to be a 'parent's job' all the time, but the kids still need to learn. Calling me stupid doesn't change that. If anything it weakens your position.
The kids need to learn civic duty from somewhere and if it's not from the parents it has to be from somewhere else. At least if it's from the school we know they're being taught. We don't have to guess whether a parent will remember to do this or not. I'll teach my daughter to help out in her community, AND she'll do it for school. I hardly see that as some great wrong.
