Let’s say we have 2 kindergarten classes, and in one of them we let them play with balls, Frisbees, and playground equipment. In the other, we let them play with balls, Frisbees, playground equipment, and grenades.
If some of these tykes get exploded, do you think it would make more sense to limit their access to the grenades, or to try to teach them how to use the grenades responsibly?
For one thing - it’s not just one grenade. I said it 3 times: grenades. Say, scattered all around the playground and classroom.
I’m not asking who is responsible. Knowing who is responsible isn’t going to stop the ankle-biters from blowing each other - and themselves - to smithereens. It doesn’t matter who is responsible right now - first we need to stop them from exploding.
I’m asking what the better solution to the problem would be: should we try to separate the kids from the grenades, or try to teach 5-year olds the proper use and care of handheld explosives?
