[quote=Anonymous][quote]The notion that kids need to work is a very middle class idea. MC parents think that low-wage, unskilled work is the only way a kid can “learn the value of a dollar.” They also associate physical work with “real work.” UMC people have every expectation that their kid will never perform such a job, so they focus on providing their kid experiences, further education/tutoring, and social skills.[/quote] Wrong! We are definitely UMC and all of our kids started working after their sophomore year in high school, if not earlier, because we want them to know “the value of a dollar.” We did the same thing as kids. Developing a strong work ethic is WHY we are UMC, and our kids have embraced the concept.[/quote]
