A licence for parenting

For a long time I have been apalled at the way most people raise their kids. I continue to be apalled and the degree will only worsen. Here's why -
Shitty parents usually raise shitty kids. Kids nowadays lack most of the qualities desirable in good kids - obedience, respect for elders, common sense, good morals, openness to good advice, good sense of right and wrong etc.
Most of the above mentioned qualities even make for good citizens of any society.
A good proportion of kids today lack these qualities. These kids will go on and more likely than not, create even worse kids of their own, because they will not have any good values to impart AND will act as worse examples for THEIR kids than their parents were for them.
There is an excellent chance that society in general will continue to deteriorate at an ever quickening pace.

What caused the problem? Probably the fact that idiots and assholes have been reproducing unchecked for millenia now, and that has caused a severe increase in the number of idiots and assholes among us.

What's the solution?
Well - how about mandating a licence for raising kids? Given the potential (and likely) tremendous negative impact they can have on somebody's life, and society in general, people should be required to give a serious of very exhaustive tests to determine their suitability to raise kids.
If we have driving tests and job interviews, it just makes good sense to do this as well.
Any person/s who does not pass the test should not be allowed to have kids UNLESS they can arrange for another person to raise the child - another person WHO HAS THE REQUIRED LICENCE!
I believe this is a good way to ensure that the population of the world will come back into reasonable limits, and the quality of people and society in general will dramatically improve.
