[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]

The homeschool piece makes it worse, not better. First, it means parents of kids in actual schools will have their kids drop out and be “home schooled” so they can work. (And who are we kidding, if you are willing to have your 14 year old work overnight shifts, you are doing so because you are desperate and lack the income, education and /or judgement to actually provide any education at home. And two, your kid is no longer being seen by mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect (that is teachers) while they are being asked to do jobs so bad that adults won’t take them. [/quote]
