[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s also now required for middle schools. Kids need 15 hours. Ridiculous.[/quote] As a MS teacher I can tell you that this does not affect promotion to HS.[/quote] +1 We looked on the various volunteering websites, and most required kids to be at least 14 years old.[/quote] So, this is a good example of both why service learning is important and why it’s better to think of it as work based learning and not as community service. Learning to think about what qualities you bring to a job, and what you don’t bring, and how to research and find opportunities, and how to identify needs in the community that you can address, and how to persevere and overcome obstacles is the point.
