Opinion
In Ms. Miller’s opinion, kids shouldn’t do chores at home.
Firstly, kids get enough stress from school. They don’t have enough time to study and do housework at the same time. Secondly, doing housework is a waste of time for kids. They should spend time on their schoolwork so that they can get good grades and get into a good university. Thirdly, there is no need for kids to do housework now because they will have to do housework when they get older. It’s the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their kids.
In a word, Ms. Miller thinks doing chores is not so difficult. She doesn’t mind doing them.
