It's because they were raised by idiots, and then went to schools that taught them dumb shit. I had to go over my kids school work ever fucking night ," that may be the answer they want, but that's not the correct answer". I was the only parent that read the stupid books... How else was going to be able to help with homework? But, the school didn't like a parent reading the books. They tried to discourage it multiple times.

I read the books to make sure my sons knew how fucking stupid they were.
