“Vanessa Perez was a homework scofflaw. The Marshall High School senior didn’t finish all of it — largely because she worked 24 hours a week at a Subway sandwich shop. “
Sounds like Vanessa is investing her free time in Subway instead of her homework. No one forced her to work at Subway. It’s about priorities folks. Guess Vanessa believes Subway is more important than her homework?

Yeah, that one threw me too. I worked when I was in high school, as did nearly all my friends. Whether it was working in a restaurant, delivering pizzas, working at Hardees, at the grocery store, whatever - we all worked about 15-25 hours a week, and somehow we still had time to do our homework (and go out and have fun, too).

I was just like her as a teenager. Of course, I was taught more working for McDonald’s and Subway than at school. Most of my homework was mind numbing and repetitive. on the other hand, I was an assistant manager by the time I was 18. Most homework serves little to no purpose besides repetition. If a student can pass a test on the subject, that is the true measure of their knowledge of the subject.
