That's a silly view. It assumes that children are the equals of adults in every way, and that they think that too. Actually they know damn well that they aren't equal to adults, and need guidance and to be kept in line.
Doubtless most of them survive this soppy indulgent attitude without becoming idiotically above themselves. But quite a lot move on into adult life with these ludicrous views, an unjustifiable excess of amour-propre. Haven't you come across any of those FMR?
Go on comrade, put me in my place. I'm sure I deserve it. But I won't take much notice.
