Argument Essay: The Case Against Chores By Jane Smiley

Studies show adults who did chores as kids will be more successful in life, They will get better jobs because they will have responsibility and be able to manage their time

Also kids are more helpful when they get paid.Studies have shown kids benefit in many ways from chores.Chores can teach them responsibility.They can also teach kids how to manage their money and care for what they buy.So that is a couple ways it benefits kids.

In her essay “The Case Against Chores” Jane Smiley argues that kids should have the choice on whether they help with housework or not and announces her disapproval of the work before play method of chores. She claims that forcing kids to help with the chores teaches them “the lesson of alienated labor: not to love the work but to get it over with” (274). Smiley also avers that most chores systems result in “the child doing the dirty work and the parent getting the fun” (274). However, I disagree with her stance and consider chores to actually play an important part in a child’s education. My parents have required my siblings and I to help around the house ever since we were little, and over the years I have learned to understand the reasoning for chores and to appreciate them as a part of my education. While I might not always love the work, I have come to realize that chores serve as a significant part of childhood. As an important component of a child’s education,

A house should be a love of labor, not something that does everything for you. Although having everything done for you is nice, there is no satisfaction in it. Doing chores and keeping a clean house is fulfilling and can help children develop responsibility.

Kids should not get paid for chores because they will think they will get paid for chores as an adult. I can prove this because in the article “Should Kids get Paid to do Chores?” on page 27 the mom says, “And I would be a millionaire if I got paid every time I did the laundry or made lasagna or drove you and your brothers to school.” Another

Do you think kids should get payed for doing chores. Chores are something you shouldn't have to be payed for. You shouldn't have to get payed to do something for your parents, or to help make sure the house is organized. If you always get payed, you will always expect to get an award for something that you are asked to do. Your parents pay for your after school activities, and you might not be able to do them if you get payed all of the time. You could also be clever and "you might decide that taking a week of chores is worth losing a week of allowance" according to Scope scholastic.Com.

Reason one is that the parents don’t get paid to do them. In the article it talks about how no one pays your dad for taking out the trash or washed the dishes. No one also pays him for mopping the floors. Chores isn’t the same as having a job. The mom in the article says she would be a millionaire if she got paid for every time she done it.

So why should kids get money for doing chores. I think kids can do their chores for free. Kids should not get paid for doing chores. I believe that kids should not get paid for doing chores.

Doing chores and earning money has many benefits. According to professor Marty Rossman from the university of Minnesota, adults who did chores as children are more likely to have good relationships with their families and to be successful in school and in their career. On page 26 Megan states that she is a pretty busy kid and to get chores done on top of everything

Kids should get paid for chores because they are hard work and they take all of your playing time outside and they are boring and they are dumb and they are not cool and there is no kids in the world that would want to do chores. Cause chores are so boring. Because they are so dumb and they are just school they both are so dumb and they are no fun and there is nobody in the and the only ones that like to do chores are nerds and different kinds of people and not smart people and the ones who do not know anything osr can do anything at all.

not get paid for chores but if parents feel the need to pay them thats fine. There

The negative to geting paid for chores is you won’t get paid for it later on in life. So this just takes away from mom or dad electricty money. So sometimes if it is a small chore like putting your clothes away just do it. Plus when their kids deny helping their parents you’ll think but why.The main reason is that it teach responsbility. So kids shouldn’t get paid for chores anyways but thats called allowance.

At home if I do chores I do get paid but I do not want to. I think chores are apart of life and that we should apresheate for what we have and what we can do. If I want something and I do not want to spend my money that they have given me then I can not get what I wanted or need. If you help out someone and you do not what to get paid you might get a reward for helping them out. I do not think kids should be paid for doing chores because when we get paid we might spend on stuff that we want and not need. Like if a new game come out and you want it so bad but your mom said that you need to buy a Christmas gift for your sister. But you by the game and get into trouble. When we all grow up or turn to an age that will let you work then we can

I believe that teachers shouldn't have more rule over helping children do their homework than their parents or guardians.My reasons are parents have the ability to help the kid with emotion. My second reason is parents can help their own kids do their homework. My third reason is parents can make time and will make time.

Some kids don’t get money from their parents unless they do chores. But, doing chores isn’t the same as doing a paying job and children need to realize that as well as their parents. Children shouldn’t get paid for doing the same chores their parents do that they don’t get paid
