[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire process encourages kids to be other than themselves and do things for the wrong reasons. They are not permitted to learn the extreme satisfaction anonymously helping someone because everything is about the app list or NHS or the Eagle project.. it's having the opposite of the intent.[/quote] +100 "Mandatory volunteerism" is quite the oxymoron. I absolutely hate the self-promotion and bragging that goes on in the college games race. Volunteering is a great thing - if it's genuinely altruistic. Nowadays, it's just the opposite. Gotta get those hours in, check those boxes, etc. to be competitive for this honor society or that, and especially for college admissions. It's really quite a crock, unfortunately. [/quote] I agree. It makes me cringe too. [/quote] Agreed. I hate that my kid's school pushes it. [/quote]
