Agree to a degree, BUT no way would I assume that a school was adequately educating my kid. "Parenting" is a duty and an obligation to raise children in a way that enables them to be well-rounded, capable and productive adults.
If parents find out their kids aren't being adequately educated, the parents have a duty TO THE CHILD to find out why the school is failing the child, to try to rectify matters there and, in the meantime, to take matters into their own hands to ensure that the kid learns the subject matter because being ignorant and/or complicit in the travesty is equally as bad as the offense committed by the school.
Lets apply that to buying a car "Its your duty and obligation to make sure your new car works. The car manufacturer is only part of that problem"
What a poor low effort analogy
A broken car you notice immediately, but if you sent your kid to public school for 13 fucking years and never noticed what was happening, what does that tell about your care for that kid?
Yes it is the parents responsibility to make sure they are learning, yes it is their responsibility to have a close look on WHAT they are learning, period.
Your logic would give credit to people suing MacDonald's for being fat...
Notice immediately? Is that why the have recalls years after one owns it?
here was your own wording:
If a car does not work, one would assume that would be noticed immediately
But that is beside the point, it is a parent's obligation to accompany their children's education AT ALL TIMES, and make adjustments if needed, change schools, home-school, whatever it takes.
And not just relegate their education to the state and wash their hands... then 13 years later sue the state because "they didn't learn how to read!!!"
