The plus I see from students getting paid in high school is the kid doesn’t have to cut his daily sports training short (if this is what they want to do later in life) to cut grass to make a couple dollars.
You need to raise your social justice sensitivity a few noches , competence is not what it is about, Diversity Inclusion, Equity is what's really important
