Well my view is that you build a strong adult by giving them security and supporting them as they try new experiences.  This strikes me as half baked, non-individual and quite bureaucratic.  Good for developing the strength of the one kid who voted against the herd though

Yeah, the same classroom democracy that ends up with teddy bears called Mohammed and teachers in jail.

That classroom democracy was for something that should have been nice - naming a Teddy Bear after one of the kids.  The problem with this is that it's putting children in the position of having to make decisions about killing something they've grown fond of.

they couldn't have been to fond of it if they voted to kill it

They are a lot like Lenny from Of Mice and Men.

Agreed (as someone who experienced killing animals)  Let them have their childhood while they can. 

I guess I fail to see how learning about the world ruins people's childhood.  Kids can roll with the punches fairly easily but sheltered adults become disillusioned people.

What's wrong with non-individual?
