As a high school teacher of mostly seniors who work wayyy too much, I love this.
There is, however, the value of working to earn luxuries. We are a frugal family dedicated to debt-free living (not easy on teachers' salaries), and my (dear, sweet) daughter likes "nice" things, so she has to work for them.
Now, it's important to note here that whatever work she does do will be confined to the first half of weekend/week days, leaving her free to hit the gym, horseback ride, paddleboard/kayak/swim/boat, hang with friends late, etc.!
That's pretty much our family's ethos: work in the morning, play in the afternoon.
