Actually, I respectfully decline to act as ad hoc surrogate police for any other party, especially anyone trying to lord it over children. I figure each party can negotiate with each other party without my generalizing advice ... except to say: (a) I don't think judges hold anyone under age to a binding contract, and (b) I don't think a judge inflicts a non-negotiated contract on anyone, and (c) I don't think any judge will uphold any contract without "consideration" between the parties, that is, money change hands.
Ask a lawyer who practices in your jurisdiction.

Or, you know, when we give a kid advice that's going to get them in trouble, we could have the common sense to warn them it's going to get them in trouble without posturing over how enlightened and free and right-on we are for ignoring the petty rules of their life.

When was the last time your saw a school child get a trial before being given a detention?
I once asked a teacher why the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights doesn't seem to apply to school children. His response: "Children don't count as human." (I should clarify, he *was* joking.)
