Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi everyone. Seeing how CC attracts parents and students from all over the country with different ideas and expectations, I'm curious if it's the norm or out of the ordinary to expect teenagers to work at paid summer jobs? </p>

<p>So, yes or no--Do you (the teenager) or your teenage kids work during the Summer at paying jobs?</p>

<p>This poll was started on the Parent's Cafe (listed under the Parent's Forum). It was suggested that perhaps the High School Forum would yield different results.</p>
