I have not made up my mind...

OK, I thought it would be a bit creepy to see kids messing with each other on a reality show... I thought it would be something like Big Brother with kids, and I thought that would be really scary. It's not all like that, they tried to stay away from all the negative aspects of reality shows especially the "voting off" which would be really hard for kids. But there are still a few things that I find weird: first what is this business about upper class vs merchanst vs cooks vs workers... that does not sound like a good way to present the value of hard work to kids... the workers get nothing and the high class get to relax with cash... not so good. But that little kid who wanted out of the show because he missed his parents too much.. that was very touching... and a few other scenes were very charming... So I don't know, I have taped the second episode, I will go watch it now.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it in the begininng, but after watching the first show I think that it is a good way to show the kids responsiblity and to respect what there parents have to do on a daily basis. I mean we don't have to go get water and bring it back. We don't have to cook for 40 people everyday, but it does given them an idea. I also like the fact that they can leave whenever they want to. I don't like the way they are running the business. I think that they should all be paid the same amount. They are kids still. I also think that they should change the labels of the positions.Or another thing that they can do is have them switch positions every so often. That is all my opinion.
