 		 #136187 - real-life skills?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

We did the real thing, climbing trees, playing in muddy ponds ... How are our kids _ever_ going to learn the "real life skills" ?


I remember when I was in grade school (I'm 40 now), my friends and I used to walk the couple of miles to school.

I read an article recently that pointed out that this was normal. Now, parents are so paranoid that they won't let their kids walk a couple of BLOCKS to school. The article further stated that there's an impression that if a parent does let the kid walk a couple of miles to school, that parent is bad.

Sheesh.
