In many cases, children want to get out there and see the world. To learn and play and have fun. But are parents and schools becoming too overprotective?
I'm not saying that wearing a helmet is a bad thing. I mean, things are getting over the top. Here is a case in the school system in Newark, Delaware. A six year old boy had just joined his local Cub Scout group. He was very excited, and brought his utensil that works as a spoon, a fork, and a knife. He got in major trouble for it, being said that he broke the school's no tolerance for weapons policy. Though I do not know the type of knife, you think no 6-year-old would be out to kill! He went to a committee hearing. He was suspended from school and faces 45 days in a district reform school. 45 days in a reform school! And this is a 6-year-old bringing a little Spork to school. I bring a possibly similar thing to school when I have yogurt or pasta. Am I in trouble? Tell us what you think by commenting.

Sporks in school deserves at least 60 days in reform school!
