Kids need to learn. Open leaf sights are a start and peeps or aperture sights a good follow up. If they become proficient with those things while their eyes are still young scopes will be a walk on the beach. Doesn't work all that well the other way around.
Longest shot I ever made with a .22 was over 100 yards and done with open leaf sights....when I was about 13. The black bird lost his head...
.02
