On December 1st, I am going to a fifth grade all day exercise where
they set up little mini businesses, and try to make a microcosm of
capitalism for the day. I will be sure and report back how well they
are educating the fifth graders. Interestingly, my son is a special
needs student, and he is still invited as long as I escort him. That's
pretty cool from my point of view.

So, perhaps this sort of education is not entirely dead... just "mostly dead"...
