[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it legal to require SSL hours in order to graduate from a public school?? I genuinely do not understand how this has not been challenged legally. I disagree so strongly with this program. Don't get me wrong - I think genuine volunteerism is admirable. Forced volunteerism, however, is crass b/c is it not genuine. In addition, what about lower income kids who might need to use out-of-school-time to work, babysit a sibling while mom works, etc. This program really rubs me the wrong way. It is "state" (in this case the public school system) coercing underage and unpaid work at organizations it deems "worthy." Yuck.[/quote] First of all, you likely live in extremely liberal MoCo, so this is right up its alley. Second of all, it may be another forced thing to add to one's college application. Thirdly, I agree, it is not truly altruistic if you get praise, recognition, or a check-the-box.[/quote]
