They are made to be exactly like each other so a single person does not have an advantage over another. In school, the teachers structure the day so the kids are ultimately exhausted in the end: “They run us so ragged by the end of the day we can’t do anything but go to bed or head for a Fun Park to bully people around” (Bradbury 27). The structure explained by Bradbury is similar to the one Shell explains of today’s parents. I believe both Bradbury and Shell are correct when they say that kids’ lives are too structured. I believe a child needs to grow and learn by his or her self. I agree with Shell when she states a child needs to be able to make a mistake so they can learn from it. If a parent tries to ensure the child is successful and does not mess up, the child will never learn to be independent. The child will be more prone to being an over-achiever and perfectionist. That child will also struggle to accept defeat or a mistake, which will ultimately cause the child to become more stressed than needed. I also agree with Shell when she states it is good for a child to be bored. Eventually, the child will use his or her creativity and find something to do. If the parent does not let this occur, the child will become less confident and creative. Ultimately, Shell and I both agree a child needs to be able to explore in order to have a creative and independent
