You’re missing the point - they should be working whether they have to or not. I don’t accept the idea that children who are fortunate enough to not have to work should have the luxury of taking summers off etc. I disagree with the statements earlier that it allows them to develop ec’s and volunteering that competitive schools are looking for. Competitive schools are also looking for students who don’t get every handed to them - work is highly valued for admissions to the elite schools.
