Why do they do work study at study halls?

Name: Student story: Work study as a study hall
Uploaded: 2014-08-12T15:57:06Z
Description: Discover how a work-study program can be a lifesaver for students. Learn from a student who found a front desk job that let her study while working. This job helped her pay for college and balance her daily life.

The point of this lesson is to make your "work study" assignment (if you get one) into your "study hall" (a time when you do some of your studying). For example, if your work study is running a service desk somewhere (like, to check people into and out of a gymnasium), when there are no clients to serve, read your homework. Don't just sit around playing video games on your phone.

  Many of the young people who really NEED what is taught here are accustomed to tik-tok, so their attention spans won't endure something longer.

Video transcript

- I wanted to look for jobs that I could work every single day but that I could study and work at the same time. And I found a great front desk position which allowed me to do that, and it was like a work-study program that just saved my life, so all of those things helped me pay for college.
