Mock slave auction to teach elementary students about slavery - yea or nay?

A school in my area had elementary kids participate in a mock slave auction to teach them about American slavery. Now, I suppose I can understand the rationale here, but I just don’t think it’s necessary – I remember the first time I learned about slavery was in 2nd grade, and we all understood it well enough without pretending to sell and purchase each other. Thoughts?
