This is what it’s come to – child labor laws bad, suffering good.

Whatever Works 
Wow. If things continue like this, I may be able to write some Dickens-style novels about this country, poor handicapped kids and all. God bless us, everyone…

Which reminds me – I read some of your posts the other day, and I really liked the “tone” or voice of your writings! And the beat sort of. Really nice!
So just keep going – and now is the time for the Great Novelists of the 21st century. Tap into the great revolution and rebuilding of a destroyed Republic!

Whoa! Thank you so much! I’m always excited when I hear of someone enjoying my work.
Since I got finished with my BlueGirl stories, I’ve been pondering where to go next. Hmmm, perhaps some revolution writing would be nice…

Fire janitors – hire kids
First, do you think that keeping a school clean is hard dangerous work? Maybe the kid needs the job?
Second, dojo’s across the world do this. The youngest belts clean the mats and scrub the floors. It builds respect for the institutions. AND they don’t get paid.
Child labor laws…

Applied in non-public environs, it’s a perfectly fine idea. Private schools could certainly do it and I’d have no problem with that. But ‘the kids might need the money’ is really pathetic. Really. So that’s the solution to helping the poor – put the little kids to work? Or maybe he means we should do it in ALL public schools. Of course, a lot of janitors (with families) would lose jobs but I guess if their kids go to school, they could make up the lost family income by working at school doing what Dad used to do . . . my head hurts!

Speaking of right-wingers and schools, Fox News had some talking heads this morning calling for funding cuts to universities.
Eurobrat, some days it feels like the country is turning into a Charles Dickens novel.

Ahab, it is 😦 This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a call for child labor. Not to mention the argument that sick and old people should just depend on their churches and private charities for help. Time for a return to good old-fashioned street beggars…
And we all know that universities are full of socialist professors anyway!
