I am getting to know steemit but i see some value in teaching children about both contributing to society (and being rewarded for it= the more value you give the more you are rewarded), and learning to navigate the social networks.
Furthermore, I totally agree on real life skills and hands on learning.

on the other hand, as a mother of a young boy, I have concerns about teaching our kids to be rewarded for everything including attending school. I believe most kids love learning, but many get bored at school. When you have a project based approach, I suppose results may be better, plus, each kid learns as much as they can/want.

Well, you have raised quite a number of issues and brought in a very intesting conversation about education, thank you very much. I will continue reflecting on it.
