[quote=Anonymous][quote] One more point that may get me flamed--why does a 16 year old deserve a week at the beach with her friends? This sounds rather indulgent...I get that high school students work hard...but I wonder about the message this sends to kids. I'm assuming of course that you (the parents) are paying for the food, travel etc. I'm not sure that I would want my kids to feel entitled to this kind of trip. [/quote] When I was 16, I worked 20 hours a week at an investment bank, went to school, took AP classes, and babysat my sister for free when my parents needed to work. I feel like I deserved a trip to the beach, though I certainly could have paid for most of it myself.[/quote]
