High School Students Should Not Have A Job

В статье освещается мнение о том, что школьники старших классов не должны работать

 The tendency among students in high schools nowadays shows that the majority of students prefer to take job. The advantages of having a job are undisputable. Thus, a young person becomes more self-confident, experienced, and independent. Apart from that, the money factor should not be underestimated. However, the disadvantages of having a job while going to high school are also very vivid. So, I believe that high school students should not have a job. 

There are many reasons to that. First, a student does not have a wide choice of work places and work hours. So, he or she will definitely have to work late in the night. Though a student may have free time in the night, it is not very wise to spend this time working. A student of a high school is not yet an adult, so he or she must have enough time for sleep and rest. There are unpleasant consequences of working late at night. Thus, being rather tired after job, a student may oversleep and as a result miss some classes. Even if a student is able to get up in time he or she will definitely be sleepy during classes. Thus, a student is not attentive and the productivity of his or her work during classes is extremely low. This disturbed rhythm of life may cause stresses and even serious diseases of the nervous system.

Secondly, a student, especially a high school one, usually has a lot of homework to do. But having a job it appears very difficult to cooperate and succeed in both spheres. Thus, in order not to lose the job a student starts to ignore schoolwork and stop doing homework. Those students who try to make a success both at work and at school usually cannot do it and get bad grades. This fact consequently leads to stresses as well. There are cases when a person is really eager to do homework but forgets about many things because of the total tiredness.

Besides, those students who opted for job are deprived of such good activity as school one. Our school years are the last opportunity to feel what a joyful and carefree life is. When a person finishes school, there appears necessity to work, so there will be no time for dances, games and many other pleasant things a high school student has. Having a job at high school means having no communication with friends, no discos, no dances, and no games. There is no opportunity for such important occupations as basketball or soccer.

Everyone usually makes his own choice whether to work or not. But when it comes to working in high school, my attitude to this is absolutely negative. The game is not really worth the candles. You can lose too much if you reject the last years of your school life and decide to work instead. Still my opinion is that school years are much more precious than job that will follow us all our life.
