I think it is a shame..It's one way children can learn about earning money the hard way and be prepared for the harsh realities of working life.

I also wonder if parents don't want their children doing the job for fear of the big bad world out there..

Many of the kids around these days are either too fat or lazy or both to peel themselves out of bed at that time of the morning.

On another point,who would want to read a newspaper these days anyway? There are so many other media streams but alas most of them,particularly the papers and TV news,are ill informed and biased. Who'd pay for such rubbish to pollute their minds? In addition,papers generate too much waste. Read in a few minutes,lasts for years...
