They don't have the ability yet to have a work ethic. Thier attention spans are short at those ages. Can't expect a 4 yr old to watch a documentary on the Learning Channel...

George- I'm ignoring that first line -way too easy!.
Obviously I don't want 4 year olds to go out and work jobs (AKA Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) but it would be nice to see kids hit HS with some sort of interests and goals and the motivation to pursue them. I believe that the roots of working towards a goal, even small things, does start when they are very small. As entertainment SS is probably great for little kids. But it doesn't substitute for experiences with their families and teachers.
Yeah we all can count - 1-2-3.....
