Wasn't there another case recently where a school principal left her child in the car with the same results? So, education or lack of may not be the only issue? Rsponsible behavior and common sense have to come into play,too. Probably the best shot we have at teaching responsible parenting classes would be while they are still in high school and college. There are much less useful courses that are required...why not? Some dingbat would probably protest this kind of class being taught to junior high children...
