| Message | Our interpretation of chiuld labour is that children are allowed to work. Since schooling is still mandfotary this means that they will only be working on holidays and weekends. The additional regiulations will ensure that they are treated well. A summer/weekend job helps our children learn the practicalities of life as well as easing the financial burden on parents. Children who have worked a little are more responsible and respectful than other children. |
