[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated HS in the 90s and had close to 250 hours of community service. I also worked and babysat and was fairly active in clubs and activities.

My sophomore has close to 200 hours, has an activity that consumes roughly 18-20hrs/week of his time. [b]He also works one night per week.

There’s time, if you make it.

How many service hours do you think he would have if he was working 5 days a week, so he could give them money to you to pay for basics like rent, dinner, gas for the family's one car?
How many hours did your sophomore spend watching his younger siblings so that you could go to work?

How many of those volunteer opportunities are things that YOU or your spouse/his other parent found out about and told him to do?   Would he have found out about all those same opportunities if you didn't speak English?   If you worked 2nd shift at Burger King?  If you strung out on the couch 24/7 and he was responsible for caring for his younger siblings so CPS didn't get involved?
