Folks do not give kids enough credit. Given the responsibility, they will step up to the plate. Our society has made it such that they don't have to step up the plate. We have taken to "blame" of others for our own actions as more of the norm. An extension of this. When these same kids who have been sheltered by their "helicopter parents" go off to college, they have a much higher probability of snapping at the lack of structure and flunking out. I know a few who did and predicted it 20 years ago in high school.
This reminds me of the drinking age issue. If there was NO drinking age, there would first be a huge issue with kids getting into trouble. After that, it would become more of the norm that folks can drink alcohol and it would no longer be "taboo" for teenagers, etc, and it would lose much luster.
Just my humble opinion here.
