[quote=Anonymous]It's 60 or 70 hours over seven years. Volunteering for 10 hours a year is not unpaid child labor. In MS, my kids both volunteered at their ES and loved being the bigger kids helping little kids. They also each did a sports camp in their sport every summer, again, older kids helping younger kids, and each ended up with well over 270 (or whatever the number was) and got an extra tassle at graduation. It's about teaching kids to help others, so they can grow up caring about something other than themselves. If some organizations (or families) are abusing the system, so be it. But so many families do nothing to help others, either because they are barely getting by themselves, or are so self-centered they don't care about anyone but themselves. How else are kids going to learn this?[/quote]
