[quote=Anonymous]I think it is worth rethinking required SSL hours. While MCPS needs to be cutting budget, cutting SSL as a requirement will help. I love the idea of required SSL hours but enforcing and tracking these may not be a good use of MCPS limited resources.  It also seems accessibility to meaningful SSL hours is limited and lots of kids are going through the motions in basically time wasting ways.  I think as a society there are better ways to encourage kids to volunteer and be charitable than school enforced SSL. Plus, our area now has many kids who work to help support their families or who are leaning English and so will have limited volunteer access.   At a time when schools are struggling with the basics of teaching academics at all, I think focusing their efforts there as well as on strengthening in school programs like music, theater, art to athletics as well as clubs like year book or newspaper is a better use of staff hours and will provide more direct and consistent value to students.
