You folks are unreal. When I was a kid we went to catholic school up till I was in sixth grade........not cheap. Now my parents couldn't afford it anymore so we switched over to public school but my older sister wanted to stay with her friends. They all worked a deal out with the school in the summer she did admin stuff at the high school and helped out and basically did what they wanted and during the year too if need be to help pay the tuition costs. Nowdays that is considered reprehensible and child labor?? Gimme a fuggin break. What is wrong with you folks. Sweeping a gdam floor is child labor? You folks are insane.
"But one of the things I’ve talked to the secretary of agriculture about: Why don’t you have the kids pay a dime, pay a nickel to instill in them that there is, in fact, no such thing as a free lunch? Or maybe sweep the floor of the cafeteria -- and yes, I understand that that would be an administrative problem, and I understand that it would probably lose you money. But think what we would gain as a society in getting people -- getting the myth out of their head that there is such a thing as a free lunch," he said.
And just this afternoon I mentioned to a friend that our Congressional Representatives don't live in the real world...
Making children sweep or mop floors in front of their friends would be the height of humiliation. I'm glad I don't live in GA and I feel sorry for anyone who is represented by this clown.

Yeah, and I used to walk twenty miles to school with my little sister on my back. In the snow.
What's wrong with you? Setting up kids to be mocked because they are poor doesn't build character, it makes the kid an object of ridicule.

I believe he once extolled Jack Bauer as a hero that real life public servants should emulate. It was on Maher, around 2006, and he seemed amazed the audience didn't applaud!
In my jr HS and later HS a number of male students were regularly selected to clean up the lunch room after each sitting. Nothing unusual. We were a private school so non-teaching staffing was rather limited.
In fact, I recall the football team was put to use pushing a manual grass cutter (normally hitched to a vehicle) to trim the playing fields and commons. It was large and heavy enough to require several persons to push or tow it. Pushing was preferred.
I do not see an issue with students doing something to appreciate the value of what they are being provided with. I do believe something given as free is never appreciated.
