[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent of a teen who also happens to work in an office with a steady stream of college interns. Some of these kids go to very elite colleges. These college kids arrive at our office with very little understanding of work life. Here are some examples: 1) not knowing what a letter is, 2) not being able to make phone calls, 3) not showing up on time, 4) asking about days off constantly, etc. I have worked there for 15 years and things are getting worse. Also I am a parent of teens (still in high school) and it occurred to me that my own kids have never sent mail (they have written cards that I then I addressed) and that I make all their appointments for them so I am sharing this so that your kids don't make the kind of impressions that these kids are making. For the kid who put something in the outgoing mail with no address at all on the envelope, it will be hard to be a positive reference for him. [/quote]
