Some people suggest that children do not understand the world of work and schools should make all teenager spend a short time working as well as studying academic subjects. To what extent do you agree?

Some people are of the idea that

children

have no experience in working, that’s why they do not understand the world of

work

.

Then

in order to make them understand, schools must have a rule forcing all the teenagers to consume an amount of

time

for working

besides

studying at classes. From my point of view, I completely disagree with

this

way of thinking. One of the main reasons leading to my disagreement is that

children

might have not officially worked, they do have to struggle with homework. Nowadays, most of the schools are inflicting a great deal of homework upon students, which is why even though

children

have not got their workplaces yet but they already understand clearly the feeling of dealing

work

in an office.

This

means forcing the teenagers to

work

not only reduces their

time

for doing homework but

also

their

time

for recharging their batteries. The

second

reason reinforcing my opinion would be the distraction that working can cause in

children

. Working always goes along with a little payment or reward, it’s easy for

children

to get completely immersed in it.

For example

, in America, many teenagers choose to drop out of school in order to get a job in McDonald or other fast-food chains, convenience stores because they only see the petty reward in front of their eyes, so they lose their patience and let go of a bigger opportunity in

further

future. In a nutshell,

although

encouraging the

children

to

work

and experience can be justified for some reasons, I’m more inclined towards

this

idea’s downsides because of the aforementioned reasons. But if a child can really balance his

time

between working and studying, it would be the perfect chance for him to experience the world of

work

in advance.
