[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. One day? Sure. Two hours each day? Probably. But three weeks? No, that’s asking for trouble. [/quote]

If you can afford camps great, but most people do leave teens home over the summer because they can't afford hundreds of dollars a week in camp fees.  Life has still continued for those kids.[/quote]

If they're too old for camp then they're old enough to get a job. They can work while their parents are working. [/quote]

What job employs a 13-14 year old from 9-5 all summer? [/quote]

Why are people so afraid that their kids have unscheduled time? You all need to chill out. My summers from age 10-15 or so involved the following: sleep until 11am, watch The Price is Right while eating sugary cereal. At noon, I rode my bike about 20 minutes crossing major streets to get to the pool. I'd lather up with baby oil and spend my afternoons tanning and reading. If I had any money, I'd buy a snowball and candy at the snack bar. I'd go home at 5pm and start (or make) dinner for everyone. Once a week, I'd mow my lawn and my neighbor's for $10. [/quote]
