Of course, but at some point you have to tell a child to do something. Because, again, their brains aren’t fully developed. This is a neurological fact.
When spending that time is the difference between success and poverty, I don’t see it as extreme at all.
Not for the education, for the diploma.
You seem to feel they should have full agency, so should they be allowed to consent to sex?
It seems like you want me to say that- I already I explained my reasoning for not. I also don’t think they should be allowed to buy hard drugs or alcohol.
I don’t see the functional difference between not being allowed to consent to refuse to go to school and not being allowed to consent to have sex if this is about freedom of choice.
This is why we don’t allow children to consent to sex, something I hope you would agree with.
The difference is opting into something vs opting out of something, it is much easier to make the decision of opting out rather than opting in- as well as significantly less harmful. Furthermore, in the case of sex the child is being exploited- it is disgusting to compare this.

I already explained by reasoning, do you have any specific questions about it?
I obviously missed your explanation. Can you please restate it?
Sure
Ok, can a child also opt out of cancer treatment if they think it sounds scary? Let the child die if they want to?
