Why are you taught to share in kindergarden in a capitalist country?

Question

Should they be teaching you "what's mine is mine and you don,t get any"? Shouldn't they be teaching you the benifits of owing capital and exploiting the working class?

Answer 1

Can we all say, "Rainbow Fish"? Class? Can we say that?

Answer 2

I was punished in kindergarten for working well in destruction with others. That was before it was required.

added.

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.

Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup ~ they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology and politics and sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all ~the whole world had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Answer 3

They should teach them in way that does not traumatize them but to be aware of justice and injustice in the world.

History should begin around the 3rd grade, so they can concentrate on English(To Command and Master any language usually takes about 20 years), Math, Science, Economics(to include Home Economics), VERY important is being aware of world cultures and religions since it is easy to become a jingoist.

Basic Academics will help them discern genuine from disingenuous information and people.

I have opinions that are appropriate for 13+ years old especially 16+years old

Answer 4

If you're referring to America, we are capitalist. We are also a Judeo Christian country and most of us were raised that charity and love is what is important and we would like our children to learn this at an early age.
as far as the working class goes, most of them will be coming out of the public schools and they'll be so ignorant that they'll need somebody to tell them what to do. Those with smart capitalist parents will teach and inspire them to excel. The haves and the have nots are more the result of ignorant socialist like liberal programs that continue to make the poor out to be victims, rather than lifting them up and demanding that they are held to the same standards as everybody else in this free nation.
you're free to make money and be a success....you're also free to sit in your government subsidized housing unit and watch reruns of the golden girls and Cosby.

Answer 5

Because "capitalist" society is under no obligation to fit into the simplistic conceptions of communist propaganda? Just because the government doesn't own the entire economy doesn't mean that sharing isn't important for people to be able to relate with and get along with another.

Answer 6

URKidding, right? Like no one shares in a capitalist country? No one's ever shared with you? I sure hope they taught you to share long before kindergarten. Your avatar must be next to the phrase "far out liberal" when people look it up. You're the perfect example.

Answer 7

They teach cooperation at first so that the young children can me managed,and they are innocent so they are not a threat.Capitalist values are inculcated later, before giving young people a chance to reason for themselves. Those who do not let themselves be brainwashed and think for themselves are then labeled, weird, crazy, uncooperative or subversive. That's why politically aware educators need to and often undo the damage, especially at the college level.

Answer 8

Flatulence.. Sharing is more a capitalist virtue than a communist one, Communists like everyone to share in their poverty. at least capitalists have figured out that letting people share in prosperity benefits everyone..


Without the expolitation of the working class, how would the working class eat?

Answer 9

We teach our little ones to share, because our little ones still believe that kindness is a good thing. It's sort of the last bastion of innocence.

Answer 10

well, it a little different than that
u learn to share so there won't be issues and problems for the rest of your school years and then, when u get jobs and what not and have enough common sense to know what to share and what not to share, then the capitalist thoery comes into play

Answer 11

That's funny: I am the working class and they did not have kindergarten here when I was a child.
I do remember, though, that in school the basic lesson was: "Those who have get more; those who have not will have what little they have taken away."
