Analysis Of What To Do With The Kids This Summer? Put Em To Work

Currently, 55.3% of teens aged 16-24 across the US are employed and in the workforce. This raises the question, what is so beneficial for the workforce, that teens employ from the age of 16-24? In Ben Sasse's article, "What to Do with the Kids This Summer? Put ’Em to Work", he addresses his direction towards how teenagers should spend their time during the summer. He settles that teenagers should be put into the work environment to demonstrate good ethics and qualities of being a U.S. citizen instead of having a 3-month school break. Ben Sasse argues that kids and teens should be put through the responsibilities and adolescence as proper mature adults; I agree with Ben Sasse's argument because when teens are put into the real world they are

Throughout the article, Sasse claims the reason why most students don't usually take on the opportunity is mostly from the parents, and the opportunity not taken is replaced by the time spent on consuming products. Sasse differs from most students who have a missed opportunity mainly from not the kids themselves but their parents; I agree with what Sasse's saying because normally, a parent's actions and affection for the child are usually impacted their future life path. Additionally, Ben Sasse's claim on the cause and effect of kids not being put through a stage of responsibility is shown when he says, "faculty members and administrators noted how their students’ limited experience with hard work made them oddly fuzzy-headed when facing real-world problems rather than classroom tests". Through the article, Sasse comments on how, when students are faced with
