“The children are being taught to help others by collecting tzedakah for others”
More important in their education is teaching them the language of most Kosher Money jobs (English) and numerical computational skills at least thru 12th grade.
Somehow the evening of October 31 is dedicated (in much of the non Jewish world) to teaching kids to beg.
I will not judge those in desperate situations who beg in order to survive. But going forward with the future generation, education must focus on keeping them away from falling into such a situation.
