The text says American parents commonly motivate teenagers to become independent and accept their desire for greater responsibility and freedom of choice. Teenagers plan required high-school subjects such as English, maths, science, and social studies, while selecting others. Schools offer sports, clubs, and bands. College-bound students work for good grades and take responsibility for learning. Outside school, the unit includes part-time work, babysitting, dog walking, volunteering at food banks and older people’s homes, and community clean-ups.
