I get really pissed when I see someone (local or a tourist) use the services of ShoeShine boys during a school day. When we tell these kids that 5 peso's today is worth more than an education tomorrow, we rob them of their future.
If you need to get your shoes shined during a weekday use an adult.
If you want to support the Shoeshine Kids do it during the evenings or weekends when they wouldn't have been in school.
There is nothing wrong with supporting free enterprise but we must also teach these kids that an education has value as well.
