but don't loose sight of the fact that low wages are better than no wages

Exactly. I worked for a number of people that had that attitude. But I had the choice to walk out.

and if there is no school in the first place working for money (and maybe survival) is not that second rate.

Believe me, even in the heart of the most backward country there are plenty of schools. But adults in those countries could not survive on the wages that can be paid to schoolchildren. The result is child labor.

Its just 18th century England and Europe all over again until child labor was banned. What has to happen is that some factory owners have to go to jail and then the rest of the factory owners get the message.
