Kids should not get paid.  There are kids in Japan that are working in sweat shops and get paid 1$ an hour at the ages from 6-12.  We get to go to school for free and all we have to pay for is school supplies!  We should be lucky enough to go to school so we can go to school so we can learn and prepare for the futer.  Those kids in sweat shops would give up anything to go to school, yet some kids in America want to get paid for coming to school and learning.  I can see how teachers get paid, but little kids I mean come on.  I think we shouldn’t get paid and if you still say we should get paid than you can go spend a couple weeks as one of those kids in Japan and see how you like it!
