[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they even have this silly requirement in middle school?[/quote] Because children learn skills they'll need as adults from it. Kind of like the silly requirement that they read and write and do math. [/quote] Volunteering should be for….volunteers. It should never be made mandatory for all students or for a grade in class. It puts unnecessary burdens on families. Some families don’t have time to help facilitate this.[/quote] There is a reason why it’s called service learning. Because it is an opportunity for kids to learn something in a work environment. It only puts a burden on the family if you choose not avail yourself of the opportunities that exist within the schools.[/quote]
