[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s also now required for middle schools. Kids need 15 hours. Ridiculous.[/quote]

Since when and what happens if they don't meet it? They don't get to go to HS? Can you provide a link?[/quote]

When my older kid (now a college junior) had to do hours for 8th grade Civics, there was a related project each quarter.  So you could pass the class and move on without doing any hours, but you'd get a zero on each of those projects and your grade would suffer.  Since it's not a HS class and doesn't matter after 8th grade, if you didn't care about taking the hit, then you just didn't do the hours.

IIRC, the one class outside of IB that requires service hours is AP Gov.  Every kid I know who took that class worked the polls or with an election campaign.  I don't know what the syllabus says about not doing the hours, but I'd assume that at the very least you'd get dinged grade-wise if you didn't and with an AP class, that matters.[/quote]

In high school its worth 1 Test  grade.  [/quote]
