McDonalds in our schools

I don't know how much this has been publicised yet.
In the state of Victoria schoolkids are now given the option of working at McDonalds for credit points. This translates to they can choose working for McDonalds as a subject!
The friendly government supports this as it 'provides the schoolkids with job training'. Interesting that Mcdonalds has exclusivity, you can't get credited for working at any other business.
I only got wind of this off the television news (sponsored by McDonalds too). I would love to hear the details.
In the establishment of nazi germany, Hitler realised that by controlling the education of children you own the future - sounds very similar to me.
