Parenting is one of the most important and at times hardest job to do, therefore it takes time and steps to be good at parenting. Now some schools are required to take parenting classes in states like Alaska, Connecticut,Florida, ect. To learn how to be a good parent, how to take care of children in frustrating situations, what are good and bad consequences, how to deal with divorce. Those are just a few things they talk about in this class involving boys and girls to both take this course. It also allows opportunities to engage with other classmates that may be having similar issues and struggles.
Each generation sees a change in parenting issues. Currently families struggle with fighting all the time, lack of behavior issues, lack of child supervision, and when there is too much punishment and not enough. Now because of these changes schools want to start incorporating courses so society can change. Studies from Michigan state University say if student attend these classes they'll see dramatic changes in fewer behavior problems, high grades as a child, less substance use, and better mental health.
I think that we should be able to take a parenting class in high school to learn more about what we can do as a teenage to be a good parent when it comes the time, although for some people you may not need these skills right away but its good we already have them and can use them when needed.

Great topic choice and summary as well Maddie! This was posted three days late and you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points.
I think that parenting classes would be beneficial, but they should not be made mandatory. Would this class be beneficial for you? I think it would be because I don't know how to parent. But I also think talking to your parents and looking at how you were raised as a kid would work.

I believe that it should be taught because there is a lot of the times that children can act terrible just based off the way their parents are acting. I think it could be beneficial since I would be able to learn things instead of always asking for help.
I would probably learn how to take care of the child better and be able to learn about things that would harm or put the child in danger. Because you always wanna make sure that the child is being taken care and lvoed for so it would help me learn that.
I think parenting education mandatory because you can get taught many great things. I feel like this class would be benifical to me because I think I will learn a lot of great things that will help me out in the future. I feel like after taking this class it can help me throughout life.
I personally think that parenting education can be both way. Because when you first look at it kids you have trouble at school and can't focus in school they can go to there parents to make them feel more safe and focus more. But on the other hand I dont think it should be mandatory because people who can focus in school probably want to see there friends at school, and by going to home school they won't be able to meet there friend as much
