Yes but there is still the expense of getting a teacher. It is also pretty
unsettling for the child to have to take lessons on the set. There are still
restrictions as to how long the kids are allowed to work for and as the
people in Press Gang look about the right age (most of the time) it dosn't
really matter. If you can get older people who look younger there is the
bonus of them having more experience and hence they are probably better
actors. In almost all cases child stars look younger than they actually are
so they can play younger roles (and are usually better than people who are
really in the proper age group)
