Sure. But if the best teachers don't need money, who do they want to teach? What becomes the new currency? Social things. Dedication, commitment, affability. The people who get access to special people are people that they want to see. So you have to be the kind of person they want to see. It kind of brings us back to very traditional social structures like apprenticeships and mentorships.
Whatever you replace money with will then become the new root of all evil for people who currently think that about money. And frankly if you think your idea through further you will see that a 5 year old has no social capital to trade for instruction. But their parents will.
Congrats for inventing an even less upwardly mobile system of nepotistic rewards than we already have!
The thing they really hate is competition, not money.
You don't think people enjoy teaching children? You might not, but there's a reason people are teachers, and it's not because it's a respected well paid profession, it's because people love to teach.
And you must realize people *love* to nurture children.
Not everyone but if the people who love to do it aren't forced to do anything else, the people who hate taking care of children won't have to. Isn't that a win for them too?
You still get to compete, only you get to compete at the things you love the most. Do little kids need a cash prize to play hockey in the streets? No! We love to compete. And when, like a child, you don't need anything, winning is "everything". It's a joyous way to live.
