[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This law would apply to HOMESCHOOLED CHILDREN ONLY. Look it up.

In that case, I see nothing wrong with it, though I would not allow my own kids to work overnights.

I worked 15-20 hours a week starting at 16 (and usually more in the summers). I balanced school, a school sport, marching band, and my PT job as a grocery store cashier just fine. It was good for me (taught me great time management skills) and I needed the money to help pay for upcoming college expenses. [/quote]

Are you dense? No one is talking about the merits of teenagers having jobs.  They are talking about rolling back worker protections and allowing 14 year olds to work oversight, leaving them open to the predation and danger that happens when you work at jobs at 1 am.[/quote]

Honestly, people in this thread and others today are so dumb. Just the way MAGA likes their voters. [/quote]

All fine with kids going out unsupervised at night and getting into trouble, immature brains and all, but the horror if they have a job. [/quote]

You're being deliberately obtuse, because there is no defending it. This law is about allowing 8th graders to work full time graveyard shifts on school nights, the kind of jobs immigrants used to do, because they can't find adults willing to do it. It's about exploiting poor and vulnerable kids. It's not about baby sitting or part time jobs at the mall, which the kids are already allowed to do.[/quote]
This entire post is hyperbolic and stupid. 14 years olds will not legally be able to work overnight shifts. Federal law prohibits this.[/quote]

Can't you read? This is literally what the Florida legislature is proposing.[/quote]

FEDERAL LAW... you know what nevermind... Go sit at the kids table and read about the supremecy clause and child labor laws under FLSA.[/quote]
