Parenting classes- should it be required??

“There are good parents and some parents who aren't very good.” This is why I feel people, who want children, should be required to take a parenting class​because you don’t know exactly who the bad parents are. Because of this, everyone should be made to take a parenting class so there are no "bad parents." I feel that when parents are not educated on how to give positive disciplines, they take drastic measures on how they give discipline to their children. There are many different books out there about parenting for people to read and learn about. Because of this, you may not have to go take a parenting class, but as long as you are more educated on parenting, that’s all that matters.
