Gingrich makes some good points with his proposals on child labor, but he seems to present his positions in a way that many people find offensive. Putting poor children to work because, "they're not learning the work habit" in public housing projects is routinely condemned, but many of his critics, including some child advocates, say that both Gingrich's work and orphanage proposals have merit.
The lifelong benefits of adopting the hard work ethic at an early age are well documented, but wrapping it around 9.9 million single mother households with children under 18 is clearly not selling in Peoria!
In Spain, you have to study up to 18 but there is a high number of school failure, good education starts at age 8 when you enter the school, but fails from here and here.
