elementary schoolers in college?

Fourth-graders had an opportunity to explore Omaha's College of Saint Mary Thursday. The intention of the visit was to instill scientific interest in these 9-10 year-olds. The intention is good, but I don't think kids at that age need to be introduced to the devastating real world yet. Furthermore, it seems overly controlling to try to force these kids to be scientists or doctors when some of them might want to do something else with their life that's "less glamourous".
