I agree with you about this. Responsibility never can be attained by observation but by doing. And failing. When I was 8 my Dad had me on the JD A cultivating. When I was 14 he and my Mother took off to Colorado to buy cattle and left me in charge of the farm. That meant getting myself up, feeding the cattle and hogs, making breakfast and getting on the school bus at 7:30. Today too many kids are not given the chance to try, maybe fail and learn either way. On the other side my thoughts keep going back to a local family who had taught their two boys gun safety over and over again. I believe they were 8 and 13. You can probably guess the outcome here but the parents were both gone and my 13 year old daughter has one less student in her grade. It has been 2 years and it still haunts me. What is the balance?
