  That’s a non sequitur. How would child labor laws disappearing follow from adjusting school such that it serves the humans it purports to?

  Keep in mind I never said ban school. A sibling comment to yours rightly made the point that there are some educational basics required to function in society and I agree. Having children and young adults spend some amount of time with that is a good thing. It’s just too much of a daycare, a fulltime job simulator and a standardised test score generator as it stands.

    Child labor laws are already being rolled back by republicans. You failed to acknowledge the recent creation of childhood. Claiming these are non sequiturs indicates a lack of knowledge of history and current political movements; a sophomoric perspective that you’re projected on to me.

    Based on your response, I expect you to continue to dismiss what I say rather than taking the time to look at your internal logic and attempt to compensate for your blind spots.

        Yes. My bad for a US centric take on an US newspaper’s reporting on US students.
