After reading, The Case Against Chores, by Jane Smiley, I must say that I disagree with her perception of chores. Ms. Smiley states that the reason for chores is for “developing good work habits or, in the absence of good work habits, at least habits of working” (Smiley, 2009, p. 274). However, chores teach us things such as responsibility and how to go above and beyond what might be asked of us. As a child I did a lot of chores and had to grow up a little faster than some children, but I would not change that for the world. It molded me into the adult that I am today. Therefore, chores, to a certain extent, are a great way to start you on the path in preparing you for adulthood.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that every teen should be able to decide when they want to do chores and what chores we want to do that day. In order to do so, parents/guardians should take this into consideration and allow the teens to do as they wish. It is the right of the teens to abolish the control the parents have over chores and establish their independence. We have to pick up messes that are not ours and if it isn’t cleaned up we are the ones getting in trouble. We have homework to finish after school or during the weekend so sometimes we have no time to clean. We are also in extracurriculars, such as sports or activities. We have to do more chores than some people in the
In current time, children often disregard their parents’ orders. This disrespect has greatly increased since the 1930s. Children presently disobey their parents on a regular basis and this is considered normal. Respect for their parents has greatly diminished from the past. Parents’ authority over their children is much less apparent now than it was in the 1930s. Parents must commit themselves to their role in society and make parenting a priority. The future is bleak in regards to any improvement in how well children respect their parents, unless something is done to change how children view their parents’ authority.
They in place of those chores, only teach them to take out the trash and mow the lawn. From the beginning boys are made to think that certain household chores are "women’s work" when really it is only because of society and traditional roles that influence this thinking. That is a major stereotype, but the majority of American households today would prove this to be true. Men are supposed to do the dirty jobs and anything that requires muscle yet they are also supposed to go to work and provide for the family. Little boys see this and are taught this and so the stereotype continues. The fact that these things are considered, "the norm" and expected of every male or female is what makes these them a stereotype. Each person is an individual and it is perfectly normal for a woman to run her own business while a man stays home with the kids. On the other hand it is also perfectly acceptable for a man to be a nurse or hate sports. A woman is capable of doing the same things as a man and vice versa. Men and women are individuals; they are more than just male or female. Gender is only part of who we are; it does not define us as
Unlike old times in which only the eldest obtained the rights and land to curate while the others were just expected to marry well. Every parents’ goal is to get their children to have a better life than what they endured. HOwever, not wanting their children to suffer they spoil and enable their children to the extreme. Thus, children are unprepared for the real world because they had never been exposed to the truth. Parents tend to disregard their children's actions and blame others for their mistakes. For instance, if a child is given a F in class, parents go to the teacher demanding a reason as to why that happened. Versus holding their kid responsible, for they know the rules and requirements that are needed to obtain an A. Parents are forgetting to instill key character traits like discipline and responsibil in order to succeed in life without the help of mommy and daddy. Hence, the generation of teens that complain about everything and are unprepared for a job or college that are essential to them being thriving
Disciplining children for responsibility and respect is very important because responsibility is an essential value to teach because no one can succeed in life if they aren’t responsible. If children aren’t responsible, they will have trouble doing well in school. They won’t care to make sure that they get all of their assignments done on time. This will be a major problem when they go away to college and don’t have their parents reminding them of what to do. Responsibility isn’t only important in school but also down the line into adulthood. For example if people are not responsible, they could end up with financial issues. They can forget to pay bills when they come due. Or instead of investing, they’ll spend money freely without thinking of their futures. People need to be responsible so they can be sure to do all the things that are needed. And without responsibility, they will leave things undone and get in trouble.
Homework is for suckers. Homework causes stress for students as well as for parents. Homework is extremely demanding and many students are spending far too many hours after school to complete their homework assignments. Although, some students may be able to whiz right through their homework, other students crawl along struggling at a snail’s pace. Consequently, family time is put on the back burner due to the time constraints of homework. Additionally, any extracurricular activities are also put on hold. Homework is nothing more than a scapegoat for teachers so that they can pawn off their due responsibilities on parents and students. Homework should be banned for students Kindergarten through 8th grade because the negative effects do not out weight the benefits that come from homework.
Children go to school for seven hours a day, when teachers make them do homework it causes them to get stressed. Furthermore if children understand what they learned at school why do they need to repeat it at home? If children are struggling on a certain subject, teachers should be able to help them directly, not with homework because giving them homework on something they don't know anything about is counterproductive. Instead private tutoring could be something schools provide for failing students and not homework.
there? Well, that wouldn’t happen anymore if you got your own allowance. I believe that children should receive a weekly allowance for completing his or her list of chores, doing extra to help around the house, and good behavior. In my opinion, children should receive an allowance for doing chores for the purpose of building financial literacy, encouraging independent thinking, and reinforcing good habits.

The chores should be age appropriate. As the children mature, the chores they receive can become more complicated. These chores should vary, in order to teach the children different skills and to maintain fairness, if a parent has more than one child. By accomplishing their tasks, children will gain self-confidence and responsibility. In addition, there are other advantages to giving chores to children. These include getting the children away from video games, computers, and television as well as giving them some physical activity, depending on the chore.
When children reach a certain age, they like to have their own spending money. While they sometimes receive money for birthdays and other holidays, some parents pay their children for doing work around the home. While this benefits the child in an effort to have their own money, there are many pros and cons of giving kids an allowance for chores.
This will help promote my side of the argument so that my side will be the superior argument and will attract more readers. I think kids should have less homework.Three reasons are, that homework is stressful, kids are given more homework than required, and it puts pressure on students causing them to work to hard and and have anxiety and health issues.
Kids learn by watching adults and other children do the things that they do. You’re not going to be to convincing, if you tell impressionable children not to do something when they themselves are doing what they preach not to do. I have talked to a few people about this subject and these are some of the response’s that I have gotten“ If your not taught at home right and wrong, how are you supposed to learn” Brian twenty three and has no children, Maria thirty six, two children says “ You have to listen to what your children are saying, and don’t talk at them” finally, Ken fifty one, one son said “ I remember when my parents weren’t around if I was doing something I shouldn’t have been doing, my neighbors had the right to correct my actions in place of my parents, today people turn a blind eye for threat of negative ramifications. Whether that is angry parents or social services, to day people just aren’t involved like they used to be.
I learned at an early age that chores a necessary and being a part of the household meant that you had to pitch and do your part; this is no different than being part of a study group for a school project or designing a group presentation for a marketing firm. Teaching proficient work ethic at a young age can give children the skills necessary to excel in school and during their career as an adult. My father made sure that I knew the importance of getting your work done and getting it done right. During the summer my father would sometimes take me to work with him so I could pick up trash and scrap wood or aluminum. Once we were finished we would go over to the local recycling center and my father would sell all of the aluminum that we had collected. He would give me the money and make sure to tell me what a great job I had done and that he was so proud of me; those words meant more to me than any amount of money. In Jane Smileys (2009) essay, The Case against Chores, she states, “To me, what this teaches the child is the lesson of alienated labor; not to love the work but to get it over with; not to feel pride in one’s contribution but to feel resentment at the waste of one’s time.” (p. 274) Children learn from our attitudes; if our attitude towards work is
