A lot of the comments are focusing on the burden for the parents, but there is also negative impact on the kids from less wealthy backgrounds. My last 2 years of high school, I went to 7am first period to be able to get out early enough to put in 6-8 hours of work and still have enough time for homework. That extra hour and a half was critical to making it work. Without the work and extra cash, I probably would have had a lot different experience and may have not stayed motivated for college/grad school/etc. But more importantly, this income let me feel on the level around much wealthier kids who didn’t work or worked for their parents businesses. Confidence is priceless at that age!
