I see myself as an entirely average young person: I did well in high school, I did well in college, I’ve worked a few customer service jobs, and that’s about it.

Just after the turn of the century, Helen Todd, a Chicago factory inspector, took a survey of 500 child laborers who had dropped out of school. Independent of financial necessity, 412 of the children said they would rather spend their days working in factories than at school. The children described school as “a joyless place of ethnic bigotry, corporal punishment and mind-numbing rote memorization” (p. 80). Though the sample size was small and not representative of the entirety of children…
