The Poojer Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 he might be a wuss, but common man, is he in summer school? why should he have homework if he is not taking classes? how would you like it if you HAD to bring work home with you after hours. and they are right, we need to let these kids be kids, in alot of instances we are pushing them too hard and too fast to grow up, youth and innocence is a thing of the past and it is unfortunate. that said, don't waste taxpayers money, take it to the school board, not the courts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, he is still a wuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a LOT of people who have to do work when they're "home." I'm on call 24x7. If something breaks, I have to fix it regardless of whether it's at 11am or 3am. Should I sue my company because of that/ No, I knew what the job entailed. Kids are getting more and more lazy as time goes on. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Besides, the only reason why students got summers off in the first place was to go help on the farm. I doubt he would like going back to those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are hired for 8-5, you still need to do what is necessary to get the job done. I would love to have a job that always ends at 5PM and always starts at 8AM, but that is not reality for my line of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
