I was totally unsupervised and saw all of them at the theatre when I was but a boy.
This is also an emerging trend, perhaps newer than Xer parents might endorse. I was totally feral as a child, but also knew that I could go to any door and ask for help in a pinch. In fact, I did just that when I fell through the ice into a creek in mid-winter. I wonder whether that may return. Stay-at-home parents are not uncommon these days, because work-at-home makes it easy (for some at least). The real question: will the parents loosen their grips and trust their kids to be responsible?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
