4 . A Georgia mom is winning praise for the way she’s teaching her children, aged 13,10 and 6, about money.
Shaketha MeGregor, a single mother in Dublin, Georgia, knew she needed a solution after frequent requests from her three kids for things like new toys and money to do things with their friends.
She came up with the unique idea to host a “job fair(就业展览会)”for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade. The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor(洗衣房主管).Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.
Jahkeem, Takeia and Serinity each picked the job they wanted to apply for, filled out the application and had interviews with their employer-their mom.
“My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper,” McGregor said.“ As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem.”
”I want them to be familiar with the process when they are older,“ she said. ”Whether they’re applying to a school or for a new job. they can look back and say, “I did this with Mom years ago.” As a parent you want to protect your children as much as possible, but you know that eventually they’ll have to experience it on their own and a child’s greatest lesson in life is going through the process.
MeGregor’s post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes. She said she hoped it inspired other parents to think outside of the box and let their kids’ voices be heard.“ What I’m realizing is that kids just want to be part of something. The first-hand experience is the best way to educate children,” McGregor said.

C.Takeia became the lead housekeeper at the fair. |
D.Jahkeen didn’t get the job he had applied for. |
A.Children should always listen to their parents views. |
B.Parents should pay their children for anything. |
C.MeGregor’s post is well received online. |
D.MeGregor’s idea is suitable for all families. |
I was turning ten in the summer of 1959. On a warm evening while at the dinner table, my mother announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started so that we could celebrate my birthday there.
It all sounded incredibly good until Mom said we would be driving to Canada. As usual, my father would do all the driving while my mother managed the directions.
I looked over at my sister,Marlene,who was three years younger than me and rolled my eyes. She giggled and did the same. It wasn’t that I didn’t like car rides - but my Dad usually took a wrong turn along the way and Mom would complain. “You were supposed to turn right according to the map like I told you, but you made a left.” My Dad would get annoyed and growl. My mother would end the conversation with “I can’t believe we’re arguing over this.” Later, they’d apologize and make up until the next wrong turn.
Driving in the car also meant I’d share the back seat with my sister, which was not part of what I considered a pleasant journey.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and Frenchfries. Sometimes, when Dad had a day off from work, we would drive out to Idlewild Airport to watch the planes take off and land. I always hoped one day Pd get to sit in my own seat on one of those planes. It would be cool to get high up and then stick my head out a window. Windows on planes do open, don’t they?
“Sorry honey, maybe next time,” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances. I turned to my sister, hoping she’d say she wanted to get on a plane, but she stuck her tongue out at me and giggled.
Didn’t they get it? I was in desperate need of a plane ride, and I needed something cool to talk about with my friends when we got home. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks,” I blurted out.
“Jay!” My mother shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“Ok, sorry, but I really wanted to go by plane.”
“This conversation’s over.” My father growled. “If you’re finished eating, go to your room.”
