Should Kids Have to Earn Pocket Money? Chloe- No, my parents can use it for better reasons. Abby- Yes, it helps kids learn responsibility.

Emerie- No, that money can go towards more important things for the whole family. Chenwei- Yes, because why not? Leo- No, our parents should just give it to us.  Evan- Yes, if they do, they can save it up for something big! Frank- Yes, it'll allow kids to learn how to do things through chores.
