There is much food for thought. I agree with the points made by Dr. Shannon. Children live in a different world. I have a few children and I can barely turn on the computer while they can take it apart and put it back together again. Unless we listen to them we will not understand them. People who legislate very often are disconnected from those for whom they are legislating, and that is probably more stark than ever in the case of children. It is crucial that we start to listen to them.
