[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to HSYP and even there we had time for an 8-hour/week job. There are lots of studies showing that a part-time job is associated with doing better academically. It also teaches good time management. It's also a great way for kids to make friends and get some work experience. At many schools, work is academic (like research or tutoring other students) and looks great on grad school applications. IMO the parents saying they send their kid to college to only study are suckers just like the parents who believe that their high school students need a cell phone in their room to do their homework each night. [/quote] I do not want my kid to work during the school year, they get well paying jobs during the summer. They use their time at school engaged with the community through playing a club sport, volunteering in the community and being in a greek organization. This with academics does not leave time for work. [/quote]
