[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started working as a teen washing dishes. I was 13, and it was invaluable life and work experience, and i got paid.

Whats wrong with this?[/quote]

Agree - I'm not saying overnight shifts - but work is good.  My kids both worked in HS and from a young age (babysitting, walking dogs, later food servers/camp counselors etc.).  This was a choice - we are UMC - it helped them get into great schools and grad schools.  Once they graduated, it gave them a leg up over friends that could not get work despite expensive degrees because - well - they had no idea what work politics or a real boss expects or how to interview without a script or a coach.  Work gives you the most important skills of all - PEOPLE skills.   This whole "my kids are too busy to work" has created a wave of useless gen Zs crippled with anxiety over doing the littlest things.  Great test scores are meaningless in the workplace.  Poor kids and rich kids would benefit from taking jobs.  [/quote]

People. This isn’t about this. We don’t need your thoughts on whether kids should work. This isn’t the parenting forum, it’s the political forum. Please educate yourself on THIS topic. [/quote]
