childhood

[joanna bujes]

The contrast between the working children of the poor and the non-working 
children of the middle and upper class does not make sense to me.

After all, school IS work. Children work in school from 9:00 to 3:00 five 
days a week and then they come home and have sometimes hours of homework. 
Where exactly is the playful childhood in all this?
