Donald Trump doesn’t think it’s necessary to be prepared for presidential debates (or anything else?).

So I guess parents who are voting for him won’t care whether their children don’t study for exams, spelling tests or oral reports. When the kids get F’s and D’s, their folks will just get angry at the teacher. How will that make the youngsters ready to become citizens of the real world?
