Taught; yes...Supervised; NO.
That is a major concept of *all* Youth activities (SCA, Mundane,
etc.)...that they are supervised/marshalled by "responsible" (i.e. Adult)
supervision. Let's not get too far into the realm of the un-realistic here,
folks. These are *children*; legally, and (for the most part) morally......
being taught a potentially deadly art... it is incredibly unreasonable to
assume that they can Marshal themselves (...does anyone remember "Miri" from
the old Star Trek?)
They are doing a great job in learning the Artes...let's not screw it up by
assuming they can Marshall themselves, too...
