parenting classes

When one recieves a driver's liscence they have to go through hours and weeks even of training before they are allowed to drive a vehicle. But when a woman has a baby, many times she is sent home from the hospital after they show her how to feed, burp and change a diaper. Shouldn't Hospitals be required to give more extensive training to New parents? Many parents do not understand the basics of parenting, such as clothing, bathing, and meeting the child's basic emotional needs, yet there is no required classes/liscence's for them to have to be trusted with a child. Just because you bear a child doesn't mean you will be a good or even adaquate parent. would you support a bill, that would require first time parents to attend a parenting class that teaches them how to meet the child's basic needs?
