    Do “good parents” really all have this level of robotic control over their kids?

    Do you really give a zero to “nature” in the nature vs. nurture behavioral influence?

      Do y’all not have the self control to stay off your phones in class? I just graduated, I was fine, so was the rest of my class. Unlimited access to our phones but we didn’t because we knew it was important. Reread my last statement, my entire argument is for none of the government control, it should be up to the parents to instill the values of education and trust their kid not to fuck it up, like parents have been doing forever. If the parents can’t trust their kids to not fuck up their schooling and need the government to step in and do it for them then they have failed as parents.
