Christian ideology aside, what is wrong with having children work
(including "dirty" work) and punishing them for slacking and disrespect.
Does anyone here think that the US liberal alternative of forcing children
to be idle consumers of fashin and entertainment, sucking up resources they
did not earn and feeling "entitled" to them (on the pain of accusing their
parents of child "abuse"), and being shown, time and again that they have
rights but not responsibilities is a desired alternative?

I say, schooling should be mandatory from the age of 5, work (when not in
school) from the age of 10.
