I think that, like most teachers and many parents, you choose not to notice the difference between "help" and arm-twisting. Basically your argument is the same as the one that forbids teenagers power tools (or sometimes even Swiss Army knives). The two differences are (1) you don't /quite/ want to forbid them, just surround them with a lot of off-putting bureaucracy and shaming, like the welfare office, and (2) we're talking about adults, not kids. _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list Scheme-reports@scheme-reports.org http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
