Because it sets a dangerous precedent. You can't make child labor legal for just one child.

You wouldn't just be doing it for one child, you'd be making an exemption for all children who meet the criteria. And it's actually one of the easiest things in the world, since many laws have either/or conditions.

It would only become an issue if, say, every child was put into college early and it was just being used to game the system, but that's a slippery slope argument where the law could be re-evaluated in the unlikely case of abuse.
