[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is going into 8th at a K-8 that doesnt input SSL hours. She will be going into MCPS for HS
She has earned SSL hours thru a monthly food pantry, [b]is going to Mississippi this week to help with a housing project [/b]and had hours from service camps she’s done. 
Can they be input into the SSL system when she starts HS? Or do they not count. 
I know she only needs 40 instead of 75 buf just wondering if they take backdated hours as a new student when she starts. 
Thanks [/quote]

LOL. That sounds extreme. Is she building a house? Sounds like "trying too hard" approach[/quote]

Yeah because community service and helping those in need is clearly something that means you're a try hard.[/quote]

No, don't get me wrong. I think that's great. My kid had more than 1000 hours of SSL by the time they graduated in HS. My point is community service can be done anywhere. You know like in your community. [/quote]

My concern is that sometimes these trips are poverty porn tours. People need housing improvements right here in MoCo.

It’s harder to pathologize the poverty of people who live in your own community so young people start questioning the systems of inequity in their own institutions. Safer for schools and houses of worship to send kids to another state or country where “those people” are clearly different. [/quote]
