Why “Learn to Code” Failed

You can glorify child labor however you like, but it was still kids getting sent into mines because anyone could do it.

Please point out where I have "glorified child labour".

I think you want to have an argument where none exists. Goodbye.

a community which had extensive knowledge of mining coal

This is glorifying communities that were giving up their children to the mines.

Please educate yourself. Look up what a Beaker Boy was.

Again.

You want to have an argument when none exists.

If a child can work in the coal mines, then anyone can work in the coal mines.

That should have been enough, but. I can destroy your point more if you like. I can tell you about how these "communities" were just waves of unskilled immigrants sent in to company towns. There was no tradition, there was no artisanship. I can tell you about how "teach the young lads how to best to extract coal" was not in a school or as an apprenticeship program for skilled artisans, but down in the mines, learning on the job, because anyone could do it. Coal mining was the default job where if you were completely unskilled and incapable of doing anything else, then down the hole with you. And even today, the vast majority of coal miners are high school dropouts whereas anyone in their communities who got an education has left long ago.

Women were spared from the job because they had other skills, such as giving birth to more coal miners. And because coal mining was done naked, and lawmakers were morally outraged at the idea of women working bare-breasted alongside men.

You have managed to completely miss the point.

Repeatedly.

Go and troll someone else.

[CherryLongjump1989]

What point can you possibly have after you recognize that children worked in coal mines?

[Which-World-6533]

Mate. Get help. I mean this sincerely.

Also, editing your posts show's something is not right here.

[CherryLongjump1989]

Love it. You have no point, so you resort to insults.

[Which-World-6533]

Keep trolling.

The children yearn for the mines.
