[quote=Anonymous]Isn't this part of the social education of the students? Private schools put a big premium on this and have higher community service requirements than MCPS that tend to be much tougher to meet. Why can't we have the same high expectations of our public school students. My DC has gotten a lot out of SSL hours. The fact that it is an organized program means that many organizations are tuned in to SSL opportunities and there are a lot of different things kids can get involved in. I suspect that without the requirement it wouldn't be as easy to find these opportunities, or they may not exist at all. And really it's just not that hard to meet the SSL requirements, often without leaving school grounds. There are SSL opportunities listed at our school all the time. My DC stopped filling out the forms once he exceeded the requirements but still does SSL eligible activities on a regular basis.[/quote]
