Couldn't agree more. Seems like there was a trend, at least in the US, for sheltering kids and helicopter parenting, starting in the 1980s. I speak only as an observer, having read Ehrlich and Malthus at an impressionable age. Growing up, I did my best to unshelter myself, and somehow survived.

College ought to prepare students for real life, where the people you work for and live with are highly unlikely to agree with you for the next half century.
