I tend to agree with Mencken here.

This is nothing but another attempt to install responsibility by
government fiat, and cannot work.

LOL ... that's pretty much the focus of both religion and government since
Moses came packing down that mountain.

But you're right, it often doesn't work.

But only because of sporadic enforcement by any authority not interested in
doing the job ... and that goes for parents who fail to teach "responsibity"
because they have none themselves.

Parents are financially responsible for property damage caused by their
children in most places ... why not for damage to the education of others?

What hasn't worked is throwing taxpayer's dollars at the situation.

You gotta break the cycle somewhere, so what the hell, I say make
irresponsible parents get off their asses, turn off Jerry Springer, and pay
through the nose for failing to live up to their responsibilities.

****'em ... what it boils down to is that I'm damn tired of paying the
freight to pull their sorry ass wagons through society.
