Ty. I’m aiming at the 7-12 age group. Looking glass is great. Kids need to be immersed in it. We have jobs, they get paid, pay taxes, rent desks, elect government officials legislate laws, and have a judicial system.
Brilliant idea, that's a zap! And followed! There has been some work in this regard from https://LookingGlassEducation.com with #[3] and #[4] and others, with a curriculum targeting middle/high schoolers.
Also I am sure you are aware of Play Shamory who have books and games for kids?
I love though how you are seeing an even bigger picture covering all ages and aspects.
100% agree it is definitely not taught and 100% needed!!!

Love to hear how your project develops and possibly help out at some point in the future if you are looking for collaborators 😊🧡

Yes, there is so massively much missing from the school 'system', ... as you probably know, economy originally meant 'to manage the house', and nowhere is this taught in the current system.
Even 'democracy' has always been a joke after kids come out of 12 years of an autocratic public school system, and 6 previous years of a largely autocratic home life, and are suddenly expected to participate in a 'democracy', once any concept of their voice actually mattering had been wiped clean from every one of their cells..
Yes. And and kids need to experience things. You should see how they react when I flood the class marketplace with liquidity at the end of the third unit. I just print a bunch of money and hand it out to random students and we bid up the prices of everything and buy whatever we want. The talk afterwards is awesome!
Ha love it!
Then to stop inflation, the technocratic communists takeover with a CBDC.This is the first year I’ve attempted this part of it, and I’m not sure how admin and parents will react 😉
Good luck with that! I rarely cross-post, but this is good, perhaps you can show them (the parents I mean, tho would be amazing to make a similar one for younger kids actually!), or maybe not, idk, depends what types the parents are, want you to keep your job! 😂 https://twitter.com/xentagz/status/1626280634019721220
Thanks! I’m attempting to make it so that teachers and parents can use it. In my house we are currently in the feudal economy and my son is the king, my wife’s a noble, my other kids are knights, and I’m a farmer. The king is about to go to war and is about conscript me and clip his coins to fund it, thereby debasing our currency:)
Hahaha that's brilliant!! You are so onto something!
Making it fun and having everyone experience the feelings of power/powerlessness I can imagine makes it really effective as a teaching tool!
