100 years ago and beyond 14 years old married and worked 7 day a weeks.
Now we cry because the might have to learn for a few hours, 5 days a week 40 weeks a year?
As a adult an incredible important skill to live life is to self manage. How do kids learn this skill? How do they learn to work as a team without being babied?
If parents are able to swap in a replacement, sure, if they are rich and have time and the skill set that might be possible, to bad for everyone else. (And for kids already massive responsibilities this is a separate issue that needs solving)

It was legal go get married much younger, but uncommon. https://www.infoplease.com/us/marital-status/median-age-first-marriage-1890-2010 https://www.infoplease.com/us/marital-status/median-age-firs... https://www.theclassroom.com/age-marriage-us-1800s-23174.html https://www.theclassroom.com/age-marriage-us-1800s-23174.htm...
