If we look at details, how exactly is the mini-city suppose to teach the school subjects?
Grammar—will the kids check each other’s grammar, or will they ignore it, or even develop some kind of pidgin?
Literature—if we reduce it to Paw Patrol and maybe Harry Potter, why not? Forget Shakespeare though.
Mathematics—arithmetic, maybe, but explain me how anything else is useful in the mini-city.
Geography—how is teaching about the world outside the mini-city relevant to the life in the mini-city.
Chemistry—will we let the kids experiment freely, until some of them get hurt by poison or explosions?
It does not make much sense from this perspective.
I agree that the kids might learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but is that all we hope they will learn?
