[quote=Anonymous]Just got a note from my child's school stating that 6th graders are required to complete 5 hours of community service. Honestly, this ticks me off. We do a good bit of community service as a family, so I am certainly not against my son doing this. However, we teach that you should serve others simply because it's the right thing to do -- not for any credit or reward or recognition. Plus, I don't think it's the school's (government's) place to mandate non-academic activities and teach values. Students should not be graded on pulling weeds or picking up trash. If your kids had to complete this requirement, what kind of community service did they do? How was it monitored/tracked by the school?[/quote]
