<p>“Seems to me that if parents could pick and choose their kids curriculum like that, the world’s youth would be crushed by the helicopter parents diving in to completely take over. Yuk!”</p>
<p>So you then believe that the state legislatures, who have never met your kid, or likely any of the kids in your school, should be the ones deciding these things? Because surely these people have better interest in the kids than their own parents. Hell, they have those kids interests at heart better than those kids do themselves.</p>
<p>So no, I don’t think a kid at 16 or his parents know exactly what that kid will end up doing as an adult. I do think that they have a better clue than people who have never met them, and who’s only real interests are votes and cash. But if you think otherwise, I guess that’s your right too.</p>
