I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework．It is not enough to just get good grades at s 81．Children these da ys depend o 82 their parents too much．They are always asking，"Could you get this for me？"or"Could you help me with that？"Doing chores helps to d 83 children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves．It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness．Since they live in one house with their parents，they should know that everyone should try to k 84 the house clean and tidy．Our neighbors'son got into a good college but during his first year，he had no idea how to take care of himself．As a result，he often fell ill and his grades dropped．The earlier kids learn to be independent，the b 85 it is for their future．
