HS students working during school year?

<p>Thanks for everyone’s input. DD does not get out of school until June 23. She has various unpaid things to do in July and August (trip, camp, volunteer work) and will practice her driving skills over the summer (has a permit, won’t be eligible to drive alone until Oct.). The babysitting/tutoring idea is a good one for extra cash. However, also I want her to get some experience dealing with the public and working for someone who doesn’t have be “nice” to her because of social relationships with the family. She needs to learn how to deal with people on her own. I think that is one of the great benefits of a job at this age (not just the money).</p>
