Actually, it's not a good idea to home school your kid, it's better for them to learn social skills with other kids. Sheltered kids are not prepared for the world until they go through some hardship and learn from them. That's why it's good to show them work ethics and try to get them a job so they understand how hard it is to make money, and appreciate it when they have it.

I made minimum wage when I was young, working the summers. I saw things in totally different perspective after I got my measly paycheck. I didn't even see things as money afterwards, it was like...ok, that will cost my 20 hours on the job just to buy.

Anyways, it's offtopic, I know.
