This is about the U.S. based on the article and you are talking about how school works in a completely different country. In the U.S., middle school is a step between elementary and high school for kids age 12-14 who are too mature for elementary school but not mature enough to be treated with real responsibility yet.
Expecting a child, and they are children, to go out and earn a living at 14 is ridiculous. Especially when it will be a horrible entry-level low-skill miserable job that will just make them unhappy.
“It didn’t do me any harm” is not a reason to do something. And I would say that you have no idea how it harmed your development. People make that claim about getting beaten as kids too.
No child abandonment is illegal. Surrendering your child is legal if done a certain amount of time after birth. Thanks for admitting you know nothing about these laws though.

So working at 13 years old guarantees you will be good with your money? Or not working at 13 years old guarantees you won’t?
Because it would seem to me that teaching children financial literacy would be a better plan than allowing corporations to benefit from child labor.

Unless those few hours of a weekend are serving drunk men as a teenage girl, you mean. Then there’s a huge amount of potential for hurt.

Well you didn’t learn to spell “bollocks” for starters.
So you will now quite happily send your 14 yr old daughter to go stand pulling pints in amongst a group of drunken men?

I was abandoned by my parents, didn’t do me any harm. Guess child abandonment should be legal according to your logic.
