They are getting a much grittier experience. No-one ever came to me at my summer job and told me to kill myself, or that I was too ugly to rape.

- jaredandrews 8y agoI take it you never worked in a customer facing position?
- tsumnia 8y agoAs I've said elsewhere, what about non-customer interaction activities? I grew up digging ditches for my family's business. I WILL say shoveling clay in the summer in North Carolina humidity is a much grittier experience than reading someone's comment on the internet I don't know verbally attacking me.
- 1996 8y agoIf it provides so much value for the kid, why stop here? I think we should start torture camps for spoiled children - shoveling clay in North Carolina summer, shoveling snow in Alaska winter, and so on! That will teach them!! If it is so good, parents will certainly pay good money to put their kids in the best torture camp!
- tsumnia 8y agoSlippery slope fallacy aside since that is advocating we go back to a time before child labor laws, yes. The hard work involved is my point. This doesn't have to be physical labor, see my error handling example in learning computer science. K-12 also refers to what I'm advocating as "productive struggle", and I'm not sure being an advertisement teaches this skill.
