What parents are doing is laundering their agency through a testing regime. It's part of the process of the absolution of responsibility of consequence.
As an aside, it's clear that parents aren't mature enough to be approached socratically. I regret their schools taught them to read and write. They clearly don't want to learn.
Fortunately it doesn't look like you've been making a habit of this (at least not from a quick look at the account's recent posts in other threads), so this should be easy to fix. If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to using HN as intended, we'd appreciate it.
You've done this in other threads too, unfortunately (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35469483 was particularly bad). We have to ban accounts that post like this, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on, we'd appreciate it.
My intentions aren't epistemologically accessible to you.

You have a licensing clause on your comments. I regret that your school didn't bully you enough to realize you shouldn't be an ideologically grotesque nerd.
Feel free to respond once you've decided we're done with ad-homs and self defeating arguments.
You can bully me here. Let's see what you got.
