[quote=Anonymous]My kids of high school age were (and will be, for the younger ones) permitted to get jobs during the school year if and only if they kept grades that were mostly A's with no more than one B. If grades slip for more than one quarter, the job goes. So far both kids who are past that age have chosen to get part time jobs but not take on a ton of hours, and both graduated HS with 3.75+ GPAs unweighted. Our kids were in the somewhat privileged situation to not really need to work, and they did so mainly for the experience to put on a resume and for extra spending money. I think a job is a good experience for students if it makes sense for their situation, but I would not suggest that paid employment come at the expense of either grades or a particularly key extra-curricular experience unless the teen needs the income due to the family's financial situation.
