How many hours a week should a high school senior work?

My husband thinks our daughter should work six days a week . Go to school m- f and work after school til 9:30. She has NO study halls during school hours .He also thinks she should work Saturdays. She has two classes that require essays alot… she is a high school senior,17 soon to be 18 but likes to spend money.

Wow. If she has a lot of classes that require essays and such, that take a long time, she’s going to need more than just Sundays to finish them, along with any other homework she’s given.

I’d say 3-4 days a week, until 7 or so, so she’ll still have time to do homework, essays, college apps, scholarship essays, ect.

But if she likes to spend money, maybe making her own and having to spend her own money, will make her cut back on it, once she realizes how hard you have to work to get a little bit. She’ll appreciate it more.

But that’s just my opinion.

Good luck. :]

I worked at least 6 days a week, most of the time 6 hours a day when I was in highschool. I made good grades and had demanding classes too. It just takes discipline, I guess. Our school doesn’t allow study halls, so I didn’t have one either. I had some tough courses like Physics. I made it, though.

I think you should work as much as the individual feels they can but still has time to do all their homework and has time to study. Plus they are young let them live while they can a little so maybe every other Saturday….. my opinion

there are laws about how many hours a minor can work.. she should only work as many hours as she can while maintaing her grades.
