I just saw a video about teenagers dropping out because they have to go up north to pick veges and work to earn money. They drop out because they come back to school late after working and they have a lot of work to catch up on so they get frustrated. when they get frustrated they think it's too moch work so they don't want to go to school anymore.
A program MET helps them catch up on their education so they can graduate and live a good life. they pay the teenagers minimum wage for studying because their not working so they can't earn the money they need. Instead of working they study so thats why they pay them. They go to the met program to learn what they missed "when going to school".
If I were to say something to a grocery food owner about where their food comes from I would say that kids are the ones who produce their food and to care for how much food they're buying so that the kids won't have to work so much. I would explain about the teenagers education and how they're missing out on their education. I want them to know that they can buy their food from some other source that doesn't use child labor and doesn't make them work.
