That's encouraging to hear that the Netherlands has an allowance for unpaid work when the goal is the learning experience. It's really clear to us at Lambda that the best way to _learn_ to do a thing is to do the _real_ thing, but US Labor Laws can make it difficult to have students doing real work that would provide the best learning experience, which is kinda self-defeating.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> but US Labor Laws can make it difficult to have students doing real work that would provide the best learning experience No, they don't. They make it difficult to not pay people at least the minimum wage for doing real work, whether or not they are students.
- brentoken 6y ago> No, they don't. I would encourage you to look into this more - specifically respecting that there is a massive difference between _real world_ experience and the experience a school can _simulate_. I could refer to literally hundreds of cases where US Labor Laws inhibited students learning experiences in this regard.
