[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do they even have this silly requirement in middle school?[/quote] Some free labor for schools.[/quote] +1 Bingo.[/quote] It was part of the state wide civics curriculum. To help kids learn to be citizens that contribute to collective society. It is also a part of the National Junior Honor Society--with the idea that part of Honor is not just academic merit but service to your community. Anyone who works for a middle school knows that their "labor"-is often more work than it's worth, so I highly doubt that "free labor" figures in to the calculation. [/quote] [b]Does the state-wide civics curriculum also teach kids that there is a word for being forced to work against your will - namely, "slavery"?[/b][/quote] Wow. Not.the.same.at.all [/quote]
