    My father asked me if I wanted a job at the start of the summer after I finished 8th grade. I told him I thought I would just spend most of my summer at the lake. He told me “you start Monday “. Made my son work in high school and he has done great. Maybe that’s not the right approach, but...

    If you are a parent or grandparent, you need to look at these stats

    Should have been their not there. My parents helped me with my education, but I still had significant student debt for the period I grew up in. I believe one of the keys in raising kids is making them work in high school. My father asked me if I wanted a job teh I'm 74 and my son and his...
