[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader is convinced that to pass 8th grade, she has to found a soup kitchen, by herself, tonight. That probably isn't right. She's also convinced that for this so-called community service project, she can't do anything actually helpful, like volunteer for an existing soup kitchen. It sounds like they're trying to transform "community service" into "individual leadership"; I supposed that's the American way, but it's pretty confusing. And I can't believe they actually want all their 8th graders to just head downtown to help the homeless directly, individually, without any supervision or support. I can't find any information on the Deal web site, or in the newsletter. Does anyone know what's going on here? [/quote]
