[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s like 14 people who work in the SSL office. I think volunteering and service is important, but SSL hours misses the mark a lot of the time. Students earn 45 hours for just taking required classes. [b]I’d be ok with eliminating the requirement and re-assigning the SSL office.[/b][/quote]

Agree.  It's not a useful program.

Plus it's not just the people who work in the SSL office.  Each school has to have someone in charge of it.  Plus other random required paperwork for SSL programs.  [/quote]

If it's true that there are 14 full-time bodies who work in the SSL office, that's horrific.  There's not that many opportunities, sending out the occasional email with weblinks is not that useful, the opportunities not very accessible to most students and most of the hours kids get are the BS kind of "watch a video about blah blah for 2 hours" or "attend a PTSA or county council meeting."  Put those bodies in the classrooms to teach so my kid can have fewer than 34 kids in his middle school classes.[/quote]
