Re: [Winona] Teen Employment

[Winona Online Democracy] People like me work in fast food restaurants, so that you can go out and have a burger when you want one. Some of us have to work to get the things we want and to go to school to get a better job. I still stand by the fact that working has taught me a lot, even if it w

I agree with the thrust of Terry's post below. I believe though that the going rate at McDonald's is currently about $8 per hour (in Winona, it's even higher in some places). Does anyone know for certain if that is correct? Glen Schumann Winona, MN [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Winona] Teen Employment

[Winona Online Democracy] I see no statements I would dispute in this letter, but perhaps something is being implied, and I believe that statements like these ignore an important element, the detrimental effect of these activities on academic aptitude if they are not assigned the proper priori

[Winona Online Democracy] In reply to Andrew's last point about sports in school i would like to ask him to explain why the high school honor roles (at both schools) are frequently ripe with student athletes if they perform so poorly in class? Dean Lanz This message was posted

RE: [Winona] Teen Employment

[Winona Online Democracy] Hello Glen and Winona Online Democracy, Glen, a great and important point to raise. My memory is fuzzy with exact percentages but I do not think it's a "very small proportion". Some other important points to consider while we find the exact figures on this issue: 1.

Re: [Winona] Teen Employment

[Winona Online Democracy] I agree with Duane. Work, in or outside the home, and extracurriculars are a vital part of being an involved person. My children, my wife and I, all participated in such activities and they contributed immeasurably to our ablility to cope with the "real world". If a

[Winona Online Democracy] Once again, a comment like "some of us have to..." seems like an unwarranted personal attack, not a response to something I've said. I'm in high school and live with my parents, who in general provide for my necessities. It is not necessary that I work in order to h

Re: [Winona] Teen Employment

[Winona Online Democracy] certainly. First of all, I have always been astounded by the level of ignorance that can accompany strong grades. A GPA is not the only, and I would argue not the best, measure of academic aptitude. I do not know what the grades of the students I mentioned were prec
