Deep Reflection

Lawmakers herald it as a way to let children from low-income families to earn money, but janitorial and cafeteria staff fear it's a first step in sweeping their jobs out from under them.

Idaha just passed a law that allows public schools to hire students aged below the typical minimum 14 for cleaning and serving tasks. The students can only work ten hours a week and must have parental consent.

This gives kids a great chance to develop discipline and earn money -- but hopefully the Idaho schools will still retain a well-trained professional cleaning staff to ensure the cleanliness of critical areas, those in food prep.
