[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids had done over 130 hours by the end of 7th grade.

It is pathetic that this has not been completed by so many high school students.

There are still about 4 or 5 states where this is mandatory. [/quote]

Great for you.  But you also have free time to waste on DCUM so presumably you’ve got time and income to spare.  A lot of MCPS parents don’t have the resources to shuffle their kids around to get SSL hours or to pay to get them done at summer camp.  Check your privilege.[/quote]

+1 not sure exactly how one’s kids get 130 hours so “easily” in middle school.  Do enlighten us but I suspect it involves quite a bit of parental chauffeuring for an activity the kid was already involved in or some major money for SSL approved camps [/quote]

I would also like to know.  —middle school mom debating whether to risk the storm so her kid can get 1 SSL hour volunteering this evening a half hour away from where we live. [/quote]
the requirement isn't 130. it is 85...[/quote]

The 130 is referencing the poster who said her kids got 130 hours of SSL by the time they finished middle school. I don’t know any kids who have those kids of hours, although I know some churches and temples provide SSL hours for regular volunteering during religious services.  [/quote]
