When a group of children pelltelr siop a convercaiion wiih vou. saying:"We have io go to work now." you're ieft feelins suprised and ceriainlv uneasv. After all. this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is Juat unthinkable. That is. until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools. and thai ibe "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.
Stage schools often acr as agencies1 (代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work. More worihy of ihe name `siage eckool. nre thase few p!aces2 where children auend full time. with a iraining for the theatre and a general educaiion.
A visit to such school will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After alI. what lively children woudn"t settle3 {or snendins onlv half the day doing ordinary school work. and acting4. singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?
Then of course these are time for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional5 work at such a young age. But the law is very tight6 on the amount they can do. Thase under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.
The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good siudy results. the lacis seem 'o augged ths is not alwaystbe case.
