Comparing grades of students working a lot with those working much less or not at all.
Contrasting workers with non-workers in terms of commitment to education.
Following students over time as they increased or decreased their work hours and assessing the effects.
Research findings Part2.(para2-4)
para2.working 20 hours per week or more undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement and commitment.
para3.working for apprpximately 10 hours per week or less seemingly does not take a consistent toll on schoolperformance.
para4.more disengaged students are more likely to work long hours to begin with,it appears that working makes a marginal situation worse.
Explanations for the research findings Part3.(para5-8)
para5.owing to more time on work and less time for school assignments ,students cut corners by taking easier classes,copying assignments from other students,cutting class,or refusing to do work assigned by their teachers.
para6.working students must work evenings that makes working teenagers more tird to do their homework.
para7.The excitement of earning large amounts of spending money makes school seem less rewarding and interesting.
para8.working students working long hours leads to increased alcohol and drug use for entertainment and recreation..
Conclusion of the research Part4.(para9)
working 20 hours or more a week can contribute to decreased school performance and increased drug and alcohol use.
We conclude that students should resolve to work no more than 10 hours per week if they want to be successful in school.
