Slippery Slope: Safety

[ebacon]

How much do you value safety?

I am reflecting on chemistry sets. In the 1970s they were flammable, e.g. unsafe. There is shared pride between parents and kids that learned how to handle those chemistry sets.

When I shopped for a chemistry set for my daughter all I could find are sets that deal with colored water and gel pellets, e.g. panty liners.

If the safety camp is winning then please tell me how my daughter is supposed to learn about hazmat by playing with MaxiPads.
