In the advanced capitalist countries of the world, employment in agriculture is under 5%. Under 2% in the USA. If we cycled this work it would just be a couple of weeks per worker. I'm not against the idea, but it probably just makes more sense to focus on agricultural productivity and automation.

in china and japan i have friends who studied K-12 there and they do cleaning amd stuff, not hard labor and i'd imagine it is better than sitting a desk.

places will always need to be cleaned, fostering that in youth would be a great virtue to instill.

also as a guy i learned how to clean a bit in school bcuz i was keener and wanted to suck up to teachers

Right yeah there's physical labor that isn't just farming.

I legitimately like how Japanese schools have the kids clean and maintain the school and cycle through groups that clean the classroom each week.

When you’re forced to sweat to keep things tidy or spend a lot of time cooking a meal, it becomes more taboo to make a mess. I guess it’s why the military likes collective punishment so much in boot camp lol.

Never seen someone that's worked retail treat anyone in customer service like shit.

You have slightly more respect for what you've experienced.

Unfortunately I've experienced the other side, someone who felt so humiliated by the experience of serving someone else, they feel entitled to treat other people like shit because "they're getting paid to take it, like I was".

Education must be liberating and all that stuff, I guess.

It would put a real quick stop to all the school kids absolutely destroying bathrooms.

You're a lot less likely to stuff a toilet and rip the door off the stall if your entire class beats your ass because they have to clean it up.

I had to mop the floor in middle school as a form of punishment. And the teacher hated me, so it was always me.
