[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could this possibly be self-defeating in the big picture of life?[/quote] Grades, extracurriculars, community engagement are more important. Only so many hours in a day. It seems middle class parents are old school and think a job toughens their kid up -- meanwhile UMC parents have their kids learning calculus and computer programming, you know, real skills.[/quote] You must be a troll. I had a part-time job, did AP calculus (and multiple other AP courses), started/led clubs at school, participated in a sport. I got into a top 5 school. If you can't do all of these things you're not very smart. So yeah, if your kid is average then by all means protect them from having that part time job. [/quote]
