[quote=Anonymous]My son has done probably hundreds of hours of service with Boy Scouts over the years but he never turns in the forms.  I think a lot of kids do a bunch of service in the early years but don’t bother to turn in the forms because it always seems like they’ll have a bunch more time to do it.  Then Junior and senior year they are busy and don’t have as much time.  They should just require it be done by sophomore year or something.  I actually think the whole system is bad because I hear kids all the time talking about various BS ways to get the credit — I don’t think it actually inspires anyone to become more publicly minded.  It turns it all into a transaction.

My father who great up very poor in anm immigrant family was actively offended by this requirement.  He worked all day frm when he was a small child in addition to doing all his homework etc.  He has no recreational hours at all.  So there are probably kids like that too that are trying to keep their families afloat.  [/quote]
