[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continuing... if you are going to refuse to "drive your kid places" - that's a problem. That is one of the most basic responsibilities of parenting a child who can not drive him/herself yet.  [/quote]

But part of the e peoplen is significant driving to get 1-2 hours of service.  I don’t want to drive 40 hours so they get 75 hours of service credit.  The other issue is that it often takes 30 minutes just to find those opportunities …. So if they are doing 30 different activities to get 75 hours, that’s another 15 hours of parent work.  I used to be a big fan of this requirement but after 7 years of dealing with it for a bunch of different kids, I’ve decided it’s a lot of parental work and not that much benefit to the kids.  The kids that have an ongoing service commitment are doing it for the love of the activity, not the SSL hours.  The ones doing it for the SSl hours are not getting much out of it anyway.[/quote]

Plus there are some families who don’t have cars…[/quote]
