Dear Parents: Please let/require your middle and high school students find ways to earn money. They are a commodity to their communities assisting with things around the neighborhood like lawn mowing and clean up, babysitting, snow shoveling, life guarding, restaurant work, etc. We’ve seen life without them the last several years and it’s not pretty. No swim classes at rec centers. Adult folks wanting $100 to shovel snow for 20 min. 2 people working behind the counter at ___ (you name the restaurant). Our communities have to have the manpower teens provide and teens need the skills they learn by working.

Sorry, but if teen labor is required to drive the economy, then the system is fucked. BTW, my own daughter, who is now 24, always had chores at home and worked part-time (her choice), but her number one job was school 🙂
