If little Johnny is getting stressed out over the color of pen that his teacher uses, well then tough. Life isn't easy, and I think it's time we stopped sugar-coating everything for the sake of the children. There's nothing worse than being sheltered and coddled your entire life, then when you get out in the real world you find out that life actually is pretty damn harsh.

I say let them learn when they are young...
