Should high school
students have jobs?
Should High school students have
jobs? Should they have more
responsibility than their parents? What
are they supposed to do? It’s good for a
young adult has so many responsibilities in their harms? These are the few questions that came to our
mind when we hear about the issue between high schools and jobs. Students
should have a job because that would help them in a future not to far to get responsibility,
discipline, independence and experience.
One reason high school students should have jobs is to increase their
understand of responsibility. The majority of high schools students don’t know
or I would prefer to say they don’t care about the meaning of the word
responsibility. What does responsibility mean? For the society responsibility
means a duty or obligation to satisfactorily perform or complete a task, however
for me does mean when you have the conscience, capacity and the maturity to
complete something can be a goal, task or any obligation. If the high schools
students have a job his would help them to get more conscience about
responsibility. This will help them to acquire more knowledge about responsibly
in the real world. They can work part –time like babysitter, pizza delivery,
cashier, tutor more ever exists so many easy jobs that a high school students
can do to get responsibility. For example babysitting is a work that required
so many responsibilities because you have to take care of a small person and
you can’t be neglect with that child because you can be in a serious issue.
The second reason that why students should have jobs is to increase
their discipline. Some students how are in high school they don’t have any
discipline. They are students with bad behavior, however they are the most part
of the time with problems with the police, parents, family and also friends.
Have a job is a great way to help them with the behavior and with the
discipline. Discipline means the
practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using
punishment to correct disobedience. If they have discipline they would learn how to avoid acting rashly and on impulse, to have
self-control, and also help you with the ability to resist distractions or temptations.
I knew someone how was so disobedience with the academic and moral. And his
parents took the decision to make him work as voluntary with the government in
Puerto Rico. In others words his job although he doesn’t received any money for
that work hi was benefit because he change his bad behavior.
The third reason is to get independence
and experience. In my knowledge most of
the high schools students want to work because they see work as on way to be
independence. And they have the reason, however that doesn’t mean that there is
independence completely. A person is completely independent when the person has
21 years old and lived by their self. The
real meaning of independence is not relying on another or others for aid or
support. For example I have one friend that when she attend to high school. She
worked in a super market as cashier, her name is Lourdes Rodriguez. Although she only worked for a little time of
6 months. But during that time she acquired independence and experience. Independence
because she could buy her own car by her self without any help of her parents.
So in that way she could go to school and to work by her self in others word
she got a little a independence, but a lot of experience.
In
conclusion I totally agree with that high school students should have jobs.
That would a
great way to help them to get responsibility, discipline, independence and
experience. Because a student without this quality’s or skills would be nothing
in the future. Unlike to a student with
quality will have a great future with better opportunity’s with a healthy
behavior with out problems with the police, family, academic, mental and social
problems.
