DIY and Danger - Education - Lifehacker

“Having spent the better part of two years talking with parents, teachers, and kids about danger, I can say with some certainty that no two people can agree on what is dangerous. The parent who won’t let his children climb trees may turn around and park the kids in front of the television for two hours a night, and the home-schooling mother who sends her kids into the woods for the day with a sack-lunch and a rifle won’t let them walk through the mall alone. Our perception of danger is as highly personal as our phobias—and often about as rational.”

It sounds like a good book, which I currently think I’ll probably never buy, but will think about buying again when I find this post in two years… and then, I will buy it.
