Mandatory tutoring for adults with children

My friend Josh --a teacher-- has a brilliant idea to make communities and schools better: adopt the jury duty idea and make tutoring mandatory for adults with children. It makes a ton of sense. Require parents to take a few evenings out of the year to teach whatever they can in their local school districts. Get Congress to compensate employers at least a bit and make it mandatory. That way parents understand what teachers go through on a daily basis while teaching valuable lessons to students after school. Students, then, are exposed to really interesting information and parents become more connected to their community. [first city]
