I felt this was worth it's own thread, even though it's an idea I generated in a nearby thread.
This is also a post meant more for CCP bigwigs to read, hopefully they do.
I have spent a few years on Eve, on and off (which explains my terrible SP/month ratio), and in that time I have realized (along with everyone else) that Eve has a few very noteworthy life lessons to teach. How can an 'experience' like Eve NOT teach kids that trust is one of the most important aspects of life. Working in a facility that tries to teach these wayward kids, I have learned that trust is the main fundamental issue when it comes down to it. Kids don't trust their parents, who they see as purely authoritative, which they associate with teacher, and cops, and anyone else higher up on the food chain for that matter.
If they were to become involved with a legitimate corp in Eve, with legitimate goals, don't you think that would help prepare them for the real world in more than a few ways?
The fact is, Eve is a harsh reality in most aspects. There are people left and right trying to rip you off. There are people left and right who are genuinely good people. Then there are those (like myself), who are both. I honestly think that exposing some of these kids would be a true benefit to their life lesson plan.
Not to mention, there would be a great excuse to keep them afterschool, teaching them about computers (which very few of them have).
So, I suppose the question is, would CCP be interested in donating half a dozen accounts to some kids? It's as simple as that. I can worry about how to get them a decent computer and internet access. I'm sure there are many who disagree with this sort of 'method' of expanding the knowledge of our youth, but I can tell you, I work with them every day, and I think it could do a lot of good.
I'm going to submit this to slashdot as well, because this really is a question/topic worth investigating.

Even tho your idea may have some merit, as a former social worker to another, you really need to lay out a plan first to ask for this kind of "help". As in, lay out a whole plan of possible benefits, backed up by experts in the fields of education and child behavior close to you, delineate courses of action and possible outcomes of the benefits. Analyze it's pro's and cons, then make it go live in paper format and electronic format, review it with the board of your school or workplace, submit it to the proper authorities, and then hope for the best. I don't want to sound like the devil's advocate here, but also before all of that you really need to show you do work in such a place and have the proper credentials too. CCP is after all, a privately owned enterprise and no matter what they do, they prolly don't go around giving free accounts to people on "behalf of the children" either. Specially without a proper plan to back it up, or proof that what you imply is real and backed by either your superiors or your local government.
Sorry if this post seems annoying or overreactive, but the moment you place children in the equation (considering what you claim is true) I find it necessary to just point out some of the most obvious things.
Fact is, as a Psychologist I find this kind of program/idea is interesting, since our revolutionary government sponsors game software engineers/developers to create specific games tailored to children to help them realize the true potential and benefits of The Bolivarian Revolution.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I wasn't asking for anything, simply if CCP would be interested in this type of thing. In this day and age of educational bureaucracy, I understand the channels one needs to go through. I was just curious if this idea holds any merit at all. I believe it does, but I've had some pretty wild ideas before.
In any case, thanks for the ONE response. Just goes to show what kind of things take precedence.

I think there's 1 flaw in your plan. EVE requires too much patience for anyone under the age of 16. Would be cool for someone teaching an Ethics course at a university or something though.

I think an hour a day in Jita would provide any child with some valuable insights into the human condition.

Well it's not like a rule or anything, but generally speaking it just attracts an older crowd.
