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!
