A friend just painted his boat. He did a beautiful job. Then he taped the rails for varnish. We all warned him to re-tape daily, but he was quite certain that this new sort of tape would not require that. Unfortunately, after a week, it did stick pretty solidly to his new paint.
My friend is not unintelligent. We all have better ideas and new ways to beat popular wisdom. Sometimes we're even right. When we're not, experience is still the best teacher.
Why can't we be giving this valuable experience to our kids?
