[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who actually like community service often do alot of it and don't regard it as a meaningless requirement. My daughter had to write an essay for an honors supplement where she was asked to describe something that she was interested enough in that she researched it on her own, and she talked about working with special needs kids and how she had spent time online learning more about their conditions and about what it meant to be a SN parent so that she could be more supportive. She talked about an SN mom who had a blog that she really liked. And I honestly had no idea she had even done that until she showed me the essay. There are occasionally kids who are actually interested and dedicated to doing this work for whom it is not all makework or busywork. [/quote] ^ kudos to your daughter but that essay just asked what she was interested in. This isn't an example of community service.[/quote]
