[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should bother you that the public school system REQUIRES your child to "volunteer" - actually to provide free work for approved organizations. That is chilling and it should bother any parent. In addition to the disturbing, big-brother aspect of the system compelling the service, it should bother you that NONE of this actually teaches the value of volunteerism! Volunteering is about choosing to use one's time in a helpful/selfless way for the betterment of others. This is about fulfilling a requirement, not volunteering. [/quote] My mother had me volunteer in high school for college applications. It gave me positive work experience and allowed me to get to know career fields I was interested in doing. If anything, I find it disturbing parents do not encourage their kids to volunteer more. [/quote]
