	I quite agree.
	There are many real nice toys out there which allow children
	the oportunity do develop motor skills. Not to mention a 
	multitude of other things which can be used to learn to tie
	a simple bow.(I remember being proud when I successfully
	tied on that cover my mom insisted on putting on the toilet
	lid). 

	Besides the only reason kids would have to wear shoes which
	tie is because they don't make Birkenstocks small enough.
