< But education & time for recreation should take precedence over labor. If the child chooses to join labor force once she has completed basic education, that's her choice. Greed is what causes an injustice like child labor. Those without a conscience or moral fiber in their greed create an ugly life for life's most vulnerable creatures. Those who invest in companies who employ child labor are indeed Mr. Scrooges--heartless, greedy misers who the world would be far better if they were never born. >

I agree with the last portion of your statement as it assumes the child would be working in a sweat shop for example. OTOH working together 'on the earth' can be a profound 'education' that most Americans go through life NEVER getting around to and often leaves on feeling disconected and anxiety ridden.

IMO you're assertion must be taken in a very narrow context, and ALSO misses a vast portion 'education' that CANNOT be taught in a classroom.
