Hmm... tough question.
There's definitely something to be said for making sure that would-be parents are fit to care for a child. Sadly, all too often, children are abused or neglected, and it doesn't come to light until some serious psychological damage has been done to the child.
But having to attend classes and pass a test is a little over the top. It seems to me to be based on the assumption that anyone who wants to be a parent is automatically an unfit parent until proven otherwise - guilty until proven innocent.
Would parents have to attend a class and pass a test for every single child, or just the first? Seems to me that once they've gotten one child successfully through a couple of years of life, they shouldn't need to take a class and pass a test to prove that they can do it again.
