Most parents are dumb. Some parents are a dangerous level of the dumb. The level of dumb where they're unable to admit their flaws and will never say outloud "I'm dumb". That's a big problem, because it means you can't convince them of anything. And then when little timmy is functionally illiterate they'll somehow convince themselves that's fine. > teach parents These types of solutions don't work. "Teach people not to smoke" "Teach people to workout" "Teach people to be better people". We need real, actual solutions. As in processes we can take that prove better outcomes. Some hand-wavy "well just do better" isn't a solution. If anything, it's an anti-solution, as in it prevents real solutions getting through. If you want to reduce crime for example, you reduce poverty via social programs and industry. That is proven, without a doubt, to work. "people need to be better" doesn't work.
