Ha ha, Fred! Not exactly what I meant.

Actually in my very brief review of the book I noticed that the snowball section's opener mentioned that this might not be allowed at some schools. It's kind of sad to have disclaimers on "dangerous" stuff like that and tree climbing and so on.

I think/hope there will be backlash against trying to overprotect kids by insulating them from everything. You might protect them from a few bumps and bruises, but it's not good preparation for the real world, which is way more interesting anyway.
