Absolutely!
As long as they have decent/good grades, etc...acceptable in your mind's eye.
Also I almost think it teaches responsibility, like hey you're gonna miss thurs and fri of school, get your assignments etc..., seems like nowadays the parents do everything for their kids, then they get to college and never goto class and flunk out with a 0.5gpa....these kids who's parents never let them live I swear go off to college and are the craziest of the bunch!
