I downvoted you too.
First of all, teaching someone git isn't necessarily job training. We don't have the broader context. Maybe the child initiated it because they were interested in what their parents are spending their time on.
Secondly, teaching a child how to use git doesn't mean the child isn't learning other things too.
Thirdly, I learned version control (SVN, before git existed) as a child too. Not as young as primary school, but I learned it on my own because I was interested in it. It wasn't done in the context of job training.
Fourthly, your comparison with a chain saw is just plain vacuous. Git won't kill or maim you. Holy hell buddy.
So at least in my case, your speculation about the reasons for downvotes is wrong. And also, stop whining about downvotes. :)
