The High-School Juniors With $70,000-a-Year Job Offers

They have increasingly begun courting high-school students like Rios—a hiring strategy they say is likely to become even more crucial in the coming years.”

Yes. A ways to go before that. And this work is highly skilled and will be great for some kids in the school, but probably not an option for everyone.
Agreed. I would give one warning then adios.
Agree 1000000% as a teacher. Bring consequences back.
