Nowadays, there are more and more students choose to have a part-time job in the spare time. Surely, a part time job can provide cash and working experience to them. But, as far as I am concerned, the high school students should not be encouraged to take a part-time job.

Schoolwork should be their first priority, as they aim to get the good grades needed for college and future careers. Part-time work has a bad effect on schoolwork in two ways. Teens have less time to put into their studies, but they also get money in their pockets. Too much money too young is a bad thing.


What's ur say on this....

Work experience helps you multi task and gain exposure. It enhances your skills, network and opportunities. I think high school or school, a person should experience work !
 
I'll do you one better and give you both!
Reasons "why"
1. To have personal spending money rather than begging for handouts from parents
2. Gain experience in setting up a bank account, writing checks, handling finances, etc
3. Save money for college
4. Do something productive with free time and learn responsibility

Reasons "why not"
1.It's harder to participate in extracurricular activities when you have a job
2. Less time to spend with friends and family
3. Grades at school can suffer
4. The added responsibility can cut into your sleep time

I don’t think the high school children should work at the age of 14 and 15, though the practicality knowledge increases.

• Firstly because there are some norms and regulations put forth by the country that he/she should follow.
• Secondly if there are teachers that teach more of practicality and if the schools have interactive learning systems of Xseed then the child need not work to gain this knowledge.

i think parents should encourage their children doing part time jobs. it enhances the skills in a person. i think it also encourage the students to work harder when they get small amount of money in their hand. But in a country like India,i personally feel that it is not safe for children to spend much of their time outside working,especially girls.Also, our education system do not give much time for students to involve themselves in some other activities. workload!

It is a highly subjective matter, depends on person to person. If a student can juggle his effectively, it can do great.

It is kinda complicated, it is absolutely an individuals choice and can not be forced. It certainly needs the interest and should be encouraged only if other studies activities are also fulfilled. If a person is seen extraordinary with his/her abilities, then should be encouraged no matter what.

Ofcourse, they should. and on 2 counts.

With the growing intelligence and self reliance of youngsters at their age, their awareness of whats happening around them due to availability of information is very vast. A part time job, would not only enthuse a certain self confidence, but it would also instill a sense of self sufficiency.

My take - Part time jobs - more responsibility - more self awareness - more freedom - more maturity - better domain knowledge - help in academics (especially in management institutes - fr admissions n placements!!)....

A Part Time job is a good option for High School Students as this can help them eradicate wastage of time and gain experience in the corporate world. The only disadvantage is they might lose focus on their studies.

Not all students are able of managing a part-time job during the degree. A job can intervene with essential research time or important extracurricular actions. If a student starts to have lesser qualities or stay up too delayed after getting a job, it's about a chance to either stop the job or cut back on the hours of career.

Yeah. by this they'll get experience and knowledge of how the real world is. they might even get more responsible while spending the money they've earned. this might increase their maturity level as well.

For school students, I don't think this phrase 'work-experience' would be applicable. What they basically need is interaction and how to deal with their surrounding peeps especially learning to deal with peer-pressure.

A part-time job, though would be a very fascinating idea to these kids, might gradually build up stress levels which is not at all welcome. Plus, students may prioritize their work over studies, this will affect their grades.
