Couldn't agree more :-) I think a critical point is to make sure they get at least the chance to learn responsible/safe behavior first. An approach I've seen at schools in the US was that they taught the kids what to do/not to do, but then basically allowed unrestricted access. Unfortunately these days that approach can land you in jail in certain US states. Having the school/teacher as an intermediary/safe guard could be an approach. As you wrote, the decision about access needs to be made in the local context including aspects/variables that we probably don't have the faintest idea about.
