Oh come on! That's just too much work. You'd think us parents were supposed to be responsible for our children. Everybody know the schools are supposed to do it all. Isn't that why we pay taxes? Why, we even go an extra step by putting a dollar or two in the collection plate on Easter to make sure the church fill in any loopholes that the school system missed.
