As others have explained, there is a middle ground. You won't make people tougher by throwing them to lions, but by creating a safe environment where they can learn the needed skills that can help them in that situation.
- ZeroGravitas 4y ago> creating a safe environment where they can learn the needed skills that can help them in that situation. He literally wrote a book calling for Universities to stop creating "safe spaces".
