Tbh without knowing anything about this guy it doesn't sound that bad. Like it's still scummy but at least the girls get something out of it. Idk man my brain is melted
yeah child labour is bad because it is easy to take advantage of and children have been abused on a massive scale before we had child labour laws children were being buried in mass graves after being worked to death.
Children cleaning for ballet lessons isn't a big deal and is probably actually good for them
This is true, but what's particularly bad about this post is how it is steeped in Protestant work ethic. That "it has been a lesson in..." sentence is gross.
Also, and I get that this is totally tangential, but ask yourself if this family would have been given the same opportunity if they weren't white. Probably not.
oh yeah it gets a bit weird with the grace and joy part calm down you're cleaning a room it's a chore at best.
but it's not automatically wrong for a child to do work it's just that it's a situation primed for taking advantage of.
Also the idea of the protestant work ethic gets a lot of talk about it but it ignores that capitalism developed at the same time and in the same way in Catholic countries and the notion of it being important for people to work hard, be frugal and uphold responsibilities toward society isn't unique to protestantism or a bad thing for someone to believe in. It's when you take the belief that doing those things will make you rich and happy and thus everyone poor is poor by their own fault you get into a dangerous place
