Enterprise City

[VamPyroX]

There's a small private educational program for 6th and 7th graders in one city here in Texas called Enterprise City.

Enterprise City

It's like a real city with various stores/shops, police department, courthouse, post office, etc. It's located inside a school (located in a central location of the main city) and students from other schools come to visit this school for a day while they learn everything that they learned in school and act it out as if it were real life.

Any of you ever gone through a similar program like this before?

No, but I think it is a good idea for the students to learn how to deal with life outside the school long before they graduated.

Yeah.

I went to Enterprise City when I was a kid. I was the bookkeeper at a T-shirt store.

I had a friend who was a cop, but he was power-hungry. Every time someone did something tiny (no matter how small), he would write them a ticket. In the middle, they marked the green carpet as the grass of a public park. No walking on the grass. Well, if people tapped the edge... he would give them tickets. While writing a ticket, he dropped his pen on the grass and walked on it. When we complained, he said... "I'm a cop. So, I can do it... not you." Luckily, the judge was watching and put him in jail. Hehehe!

That brings me back the memories of being a hall monitor. I was being mischievous and would hide around the corner so I can catch somebody running and make that kid go back into the hall and start walking back. Yeah, I was being bad. I even remember a boy who was so scared stiff and he would walk down the hall with stiff arms straight down. I thought that was hilarious.

I am sure Enterprise City cost a pretty penny. It would be useful in a large city so different schools could take turns in using it.

It's free for schools within that city. For schools outside of that city, it costs a small fee.
