It's not common to see teens in the work field nowadays. Many blame the job market for this, as they claim: "They don't produce jobs for students anymore". However, in the passage "WHY MORE TEENAGERS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS NEED TO WORK WHILE IN SCHOOL" by Jeffrey J. Selingo, he attempts to convince readers why college and high school students should be working during the school year. Jeffrey uses a handful of powerful claims backed up by appealing evidence to shut down the stereotypical claim that the job market is to blame for why these students don't have correct work ethics. Students would rather pay for loans than take a job for a general and truthful claim.…
In the human race, as with almost all species, the male leads, protects, and dominates; however, this is not always the case. Female dominance occurs in the Lemur family of primates. It is unknown as to exactly why this occurs, but it is has been shown to be linked to increased maternal investment. In Bobbie Ann Mason’s story “Shiloh,” she exhibits the reversal of the roles between the husband and wife. Norma Jean, the wife, evolves into the dominate role in the marriage, while Leroy, the husband, evolves into the submissive role of the marriage.…
Some of the research articles we found included people from both sides. The first article included places like McDonalds where you start out at the bottom and work your way up the food chain. Although, this happening is rare, you learn valuable skills like, time management, being honest and being dependable. The second article we read opposed the idea of high school students working. This author argued that high school students can only get jobs that do not require any skills or creativity and you should spend your time focusing on the important thing, school.…

4. In this article, the author describes why young workers are no longer looking for summer jobs nor are they being hired for summer work. This summer held the lowest number of young people who found work than any other year on record. “Fewer young Americans found jobs this summer than last year, but because some of them didn’t look for work” (Murray, S. 2011). It was particularly difficult for a young worker to find a job between the months of April-July. “Some 48.8% of young people held jobs in July, the lowest rate for that month based on data going back to 1948” (Murray, S. 2011). The reason behind the difficulty in finding a job during these months is due to the amount of high school students and college students who are looking for summer work and the lack of work available. “During these months, large numbers of high school and college students search for or take summer jobs, and many graduates enter the labor market to look for or begin permanent employment” (Murray, S. 2011). If these young people decide to continue their schooling through the summer rather than finding a job, the economy and the students will benefit in the long run from both higher wages and higher productivity. However if they decide to not return to school or find a job, then both the economy and the worker are negatively affected.…
It is also important that we are confident and have the ability to identify and sort out any conflicts with children, young people and adults so that others can trust us. Another principle would be being consistent and fair towards other people as they will at some point need to rely on us; this means to stay professional at all times. We should listen to children and hear what they have to say first before jumping to conclusions and to make sure that a child’s needs are taken into consideration first. Being fair is what adults need as well as children and young people. Staff members in school will need to feel that the workplace is a fair where everyone is the same and expected of as the same level of others and to always keep confidentiality as appropriate. It’s important to show respect and courtesy towards others as adults expect this and young children will need this so that they can extend their skills with…
You should always maintain a professional and polite attitude with all ages of children and young people. When working with children and young people you will deal regularly with disagreements. When children have had or are having a conflict you should always go back to how it began and find out what has happened, you will need to listen to all sides and form other children present who was to blame if anyone, decide if there are any apologies needed and any further action you may need to take. Children will need to be taught how their feelings affect their behaviour and how things they do affects others. You may also be faced with conflicts with/between other adults. When these situations arise you should try to resolve the problem and always show sensitivity towards those involved. If you feel the situation requires further action you may need a mediator, you should consult your manager and explain what has happened to cause the conflict. It is impossible to work in a tense atmosphere, the children will pick up on this and it is unlikely the problem will go away without action taken. Schools should have a grievance policy in place to provide you with…

Everyone growing up in America has a choice. That choice is to either get an education and go to work, or to be lazy and not do anything with their life except steal from the people who have worked hard in life.

Within school, it is important to be able to build good relationships with the children you work with so that they feel comfortable in your company and feel that they are able to speak with you. The first step to achieving this would be to establish a mutual respect and to have clear rules in place so that the children understand what is expected of them and what they can expect from you. As a member of staff, you need to be able to adapt your own behaviour and communication skills in a manner that is age appropriate. It's important that the children feel secure, valued as an individual and as important as any other person within the school and your manner needs to demonstrate this. This will help you to get to know and understand the characters of each individual child and will help you to spot any problems or difficulties a child may be experiencing…

teenagers and the less-educated citizens. Jobs of U.S. teenagers and the less-educated are being taken over by immigrants entering into the country. While teenagers and the less-educated search for a job, immigrants are getting hired at local jobs in the same state of multiple jobless citizens. Jobs also help teenagers and the less-educated get off the streets and introduces them a step of independence. Economist found that in 2012 immigration reduces the employment of U.S. citizens under the age twenty-nine. The increase of jobless teenagers and the less-educated should not be overtaken by immigration of other workers. This major decline of U.S. citizens under the age twenty-nine being employed, should be…

Many adults and fellow parents believe that teens are way too maturely underdeveloped to acquire and work in the world around them.
