[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the intentions behind this requirement are good, but it’s not done with fidelity anymore. Every year, there are students who need 30+ hours the week before graduation. Magically, they complete these hours in just one day! Schools offer 15 hours for spending minimum time on a project. Or 3 hours to spend a 30 minute lunch making cards for people. Take the SSL people and their salaries and put it back in schools. [/quote] +1 Agreed. Last year there was a thread about 25% of HS students being in danger of not graduating due to not having enough of SSL hours and that should not happen. SSL hours, in their current form, are a mixed bag of kids "volunteering" for SSL at the fancy summer camps where their parents previously paid hundreds of dollars a week for them to attend, plus random hours gifted by MCPS for in-school classroom work and events that are a regular part of the school day.
