[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not the same thing. These "approved" organizations are getting a tangible, measurable financial benefit from the students: the unpaid labor. The students are forced to provide if they want to graduate. Furthermore, these SSL hours happen outside of school hours. Some students need that time to work, help their families, etc. Very different from requiring math, english (during school hours) which are for the benefit of the child and are an essential function of school. [/quote] I actually agree with you OP. I volunteer now as an adult, and did volunteer work on and off when I was younger. I obviously see the value in it. But, don't like the idea of these SSL hours. And, I agree that some students need the time for other things. We're in a 'lower' income school district, and lots of kids do NEED to work. [/quote] Are they really allowed to work in middle school? I thought there were child labor laws about that. [/quote]
