Currently, it has become a common phenomenon that an increasing number of young adults are blamed for lacking any living skills, which has aroused deep social concern. Therefore, some educators and parents propose that high school students should do some house chores after school. As far as I am concerned, the above proposal is acceptable.
Firstly, making housework mandatory for children can help them pick up practical skills and develop valuable traits. As we all know, in the course of completing various house chores, essential living skills and certain qualities will be required. So with these abilities and virtues, high schoolers will be more capable of take good care of themselves in their future life. To be specific, while making real contributions to running the household, they're actively learning how to cook, launder, clean, make repairs, maintain a vehicle, budget expenses, and other tasks which are essential for living an independent life once they're adults. The experience of freshmen in college in China is a good case in point. Due to overemphasis of parents on the academic performance, high school students are required to devote most of their time and energy in learning compulsory subjects such as English, math and physics. The consequence is that most of college students have great difficulty in adapting to the campus life because they have to do everything in person, most of which are usually done by their parents.
Secondly, requiring kids to do house chores will relieve parents stress. As is common sense, under such a society full of competition, parents, the breadwinner of the whole family, have to spend most of their time on their work in order to support the whole family, which makes them under heavy pressure. Undoubtedly, cleaning the floor, doing laundry and cooking consume lots of energy and time of already exhausted parents, with the result that they will suffer from more physical and psychological fatigue. However, if children become proficient at the jobs necessary to sustain their families, the burden of the parents will be alleviated a lot, which is definitely conducive to the health of parents.
Factoring what has been discussed above, it is safe to conclude that students should be required to do housework in order to improve their own practical skills and lessen the pressure of their parents.
