One of the most important skills a kid will need to survive in society is establishing a healthy work/life balance. It's impossible to instill if there's no "work" in their upbringing. Kids shouldn't have to work absurd hours, but I think something similar to what I did in high school (school, homework, athletics/extracurricular activities, a part-time job AND social time with friends) gives one a pretty good spread where I learned that I needed to organize and prioritize my time... Something kids growing up today will DEFINITELY need.
Sorry for the armchair parenting, but this is a huge problem and too many parents just don't pay any attention to it.
