Many children act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they cannot go to a regular
school. How do they get an education?
In Hollywood, where many TV shows are made, about forty teachers give lessons for the children in
the shows. They teach wherever their pupils are working.
They teacher's job is very important. She is responsible for making sure that the child works only the
permitted hours each week. She is also responsible for making sure that the child learns the required
subjects. She makes sure, too, that the child gets enough rest and play, along with his education.
Child actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says that they must
be taught from September to the middle of June. If they do not get good marks in school, they are not
permitted to continue working in TV shows.
TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their
classes are held in many interesting places. Sometimes the "classroom" is a Mississippi riverboat. Sometimes
it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous stars.
