The First 10 Years of Education

Right from the beginning, kids have "jobs" in a "town." The jobs of little kids involve playing with different kinds of toys and engaging in different kinds of games. They rotate from day to day to different jobs. Jobs of older kids are more like jobs in the "real" world, and the kids rotate from week to week to new job experiences. "Supervisors" with benign intent note what kinds of jobs each kid likes most. At the end of ten years each kid already knows what it is like to go to work, and do well at work they prefer. There are no multiple-month Summer vacations, but little kids get more days off than older kids, from time to time and on special occasions.
