A study has found that most of the teenagers have never done any chores. Many teenagers don’t have to make their beds. Thirty-five percent have never cooked a meal and more than seventy-five percent have never run the washing machine or cleaned the bathroom. Different people have different ideas about the result.
As one of the researchers of the study, Dr. Sheila Green is worried. “This result is worrying,” she says. “Every year, teenagers are getting lazier. Real jobs in the real world will be very difficult for them.”
Dan Sparks doesn’t agree with it. “Teenagers today work very hard. Many of them have to do three hours of homework every night. Playing in a sports team or learning a musical instrument (乐器) can take a lot of time, too. If we want teenagers with good test results and also some interests outside school, we mustn’t give them chores.”
Linda Fiorelli feels very different. “It’s about respect, not time. Even my five-year-old son Jimmy has to lay the table every day. It takes only one minute, but it’s important. Children share the house with their parents, so they must share the jobs around the house, too. That’s fair and it teaches them good habits for the future.”
