NURSERY
Nursery staff did the necessary maintenance. They were also to check for any defective hatchlings sothey could be removed and sent to the incinerator.
EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMMING
It was decided that there was no need for the slaves to learn to read or write. This also avoided anyproblems that might occur if a slave came across any of our written materials. The training method wasto be "monkey see - monkey do". Age appropriate videos were to be used throughout the slavepreparation process. The videos would show what the slaves would be required to do such asconstructing shelters for themselves, planting seeds, cultivating and so on. The slaves would learn abasic language but no written skills. The education staff had developed a "simplified language" whichwould be used when communicating with a slave or when a slave was near. For one thing, we decidedto call them "slaves". Since they are born with a "blank slate" so to speak, words have no absolutemeaning. For all the slave knows, "slave" could mean "my best friend". Additionally, we decided tolimit our language to only positive and practical instructional terms. For example, a slave did not needto know words such as "hate", "kill", "jealousy" or "superior/inferior" [since all slaves were to beconsidered equal]. We could avoid lots of problems if the slave simply had no language skills to expressnegative thoughts or emotions. Additionally, the education staff or the Prefects, as the slaves wouldknow them, should not use their names in the presence of the slaves. They should, instead, each choosea number such as "Prefect 21" when relating to a slave. We don't want them getting any ideas aboutbeing individuals. They must think of themselves only as part of a collective who exist to obey andserve the WOO.
FORMAL PROGRAMMING
Formal education began around age four/five. One important phase of this would be religiousindoctrination. Each slave must memorize the "BOOK OF WOO" and do the daily devotional chant.More detailed "monkey see - monkey do" videos would be used and the slaves would be taken for handson practice. In this phase, they would be taken to a training zone where they would be taught aboutevery plant they were to cultivate and the proper method to care for it. They would be tested on theirknowledge. Once released into their zone, they would be on their own.
The slaves would also need to learn how to construct shelters, what food was edible and how to prepareit. Each zone would be run as a commune - everyone working for the common good and the successfulaccomplishment of their purpose for existence as stated in the "BOOK OF WOO": "Be fruitful,multiply, and terraform this planet". This programming had been instilled in them from childhood andwould be constantly reinforced by subliminal messages which would be transmitted to the implants.
