"Agree .. but alot of parents don't strongly suggest their kids get a job .. or at least up my way they don't

Up my way they buy their kids cars and other things"

Makes you wonder if this isn't much of our problem today...my kids managed to have jobs in High School and College while still getting good grades! Also instilled in them the idea of a work ethic....what a concept!! Who knew!

Up my way .. there are many reasons

Some parents think working will hurt their grades ..though they don't say anything about the kids hanging out at the malls

Other parents .. because they try to keep up with the Jones ... think it's their responsibility to buy them new cars

I'm old school .. you want a car .. get a job and buy it yourself like I had to
