Under our capitalist system, it amazes me how those capitalists want something for nothing. Such as educated children. But I say they should be paid for their school WORK. Wouldn't that be helping them understand how capitalism works? You do work, you get paid for it. End of story. Maybe children need to join a union. And if they don't get paid, they go on strike. Now it doesn't have to be a lot. Just enough to make it WELL worth their while to do so. Also, if children have money to spend by going to the movies or whatever, wouldn't that improve the economy all around? They could also put some of their money into a bank. And buy their mom something nice for christmass.

I have a better idea: Offer your children payment if they agree to do work around the house beyond their regular chores...such as, painting the fence, fixing a cabinet knob, applying sealant to the cracks in the driveway. This will give them a better understanding about how capitalism works.

They will find that first, they have to want to do the work and want to get paid for it...second, they will have to decide if the payment is enough compensation for the work...third, they will have to do the work...and fourth, they will have to decide what to do with their earnings.

If they get experience at that stuff at an early age, they will have an advantage over other children when they all grow up and enter the adult world.

That is what I do. I pay my kids for their grades.
They pretty much make the a/b honor roll or straight a list almost every semester.

I would dump the whole American system to educate American students. And replace it on the system of the United Kingdom. I would also dump the college sports system, starting with college football. When a college team wins the national championship, they see more people wanting to educated by this university. They never ask, is there undergrad education is really right for them. College sports, is really a cancer on the American college system.

Adults that was child labor, had shorter lifespans than adults that had a childhood. Women, have a large investment when they decide to have a child. They want their child to live an extra ten years above the national age of death then dyeing before the national age of death.

You are conflating WORK with medical science and nutritional advancement. Work for children is a good thing. A very good thing. The children in my family work and play and go to school all in the same place and a lot of time at the same time. The family farm or ranch just one example. Children should have responsibilities they are accountable for early and often. Doesn't mean they cant or wont be children or play, far from it. Work ethic starts early. People think that 40 hours a week is hard. I haven't seen a 40 hour week in decades. I routinely work 80+. Success is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Children need to learn that lesson early. The earlier the better.

So you're not really into teaching delayed gratification? Of course, it has been thought to be part of the foundation of building a successful human being...... just sayin'
