Our entire society takes fewer and fewer risks. We carry Purell around, not that our kids need it because they’re not playing outside unless they’re in closely supervised structured activities. Usually wearing protective gear and helmets.

Their homework is graded according to a rubric that they’ve seen beforehand, so they can write to the prompt.

Even if we don’t implant GPS chips in them, we’re tethered by phone 24-7. Remember the flap about the NY mom who let her kid take the subway home all by himself in the middle of the day?
