It takes time and sacrifice to 'be there' which is why being a homemaker is a choice which only the next generation will prove a noble one.

Of course you should ban tag if it is dangerous.Just a minute maybe tag is enevitable like war and we should let the little "idiots will be idiots" practise maiming peoples future.Oh I see your point now !

But we're deep into the movement to destroy boyhood (and by extension, manhood) and to treat children as infinitely breakable and not at all repairable. It will take some radical measures to undo the damage. The one I favor is as complete a boycott of the government-run schools, and anything that emanates from them, as Americans can manage.
