All I remember from last night’s jumble of dreams is a school in which all rewards and punishments of the children were in terms of money. Their parents were also encouraged to use the same approach at home. Physical punishment was out, and so was withdrawal of pleasures. Everything was calculated in money terms. For this purpose, the school developed an extensive tariff. I remember seeing one of the children from the school in question that was doing very well in terms of money. It was a boy of about twelve. His dark hair was carefully combed and he wore a white shirt with short sleeves. For some reason, he struck me as a dunce. When I woke up, I wondered about the dream. Was this something my brain came up with or had I read about it not so long ago. I even thought of checking it on the World Wide Web, but I gave up on the idea without much ado. I was quite sure that some economist somewhere in the States must have come up with such a system of rewards and punishments. School capitalism, to coin a term. It would prepare the children for adult life, where all rewards and punishments were in terms of money, anyway.
