On Tuesday we made paper bags, to see what it is like for the children that do this every day as child labour.
Here is what a few people in our class said:
Kendall "It was difficult when trying to do it fast."
Tori "It would so boring doing this for 10 hours a day!"
Sheamus "It was tiring, especailly if you got hit while doing it, it was difficult to use your hands."
Heather "It would be hard to make it perfect, like they would want it"
Regan "Its had to substitue quantity for quality"
Mardi "It was tough doing it for 10 minutes, imagine doing this for the whole day"
Amber "It was hard to not make a sound when doing it."
Anna "They don't make alot of money for the long hours they work."
Lucy "Its scary to thinhk that your family depends on you for the money."
Sam "It was easy to make a mistake."

I found that it was really hard to make good quality ones quickly. I cant imagine what it must be like for the children that have to do that every day all day. I fell really sorry for them.

I still can't believe how lucky we are compared to all those kids who work up to 12 hours and get paid so little!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucy it is scary to think that your family would rely on you to make money for food and other basic things. I'm glad I live in New Zealand going to school six hours a day instead of working up to 12! Anna
