I think once a month the fool gets in a liquor cabinet and drinks some nerve medicine and in just a bit he thinks he can step on the dogs cape.

But if you had a brother with a 16 year old daughter, you would work her hard wouldn't you? Say hi to your mom for me. Lovely Lady

It's fun to occasionally check-in to goAshe to see if any of you have made progress. Unfortunately, Joe Bob T. has made none. Joe Bob, you've got a chip on your shoulder for the school system for some reason. The best option for you is to pull your stupid kid out of the public school system and either home school or enroll in a charter school. I doubt you would want the responsibility or the cost of doing so. The community service requirement is widespread throughout the state and across America. It's a good thing and puts some responsibility on the graduate, if for anything else, to give back to the community that paid for the vast majority of his/her education.

Dog, in my kid's day there was a colorful tracking sheet handed out during 8th grade, "lets get ready for High school" day. (not sure what they all it but it happens near the end of the 8th grade school year). Parents, if they bother to attend are informed of the requirement and how the hours will be counted. After that it is up to the student to record their hours on the form, have it signed off on by a member of the organization where the service is being provided and provide a very short description of what was done ie: stocked shelves at the church food bank, 1 hour 8-12-14.
Once you have a sheet full of "experience" you turn that into the guidance department for inclusion in the student's record. There is no requirement to maintain an volunteer log beyond the minimum requirement, but for students preparing to move onto a College or University setting, the hours of volunteer service is one more item to include on their High School resume to be considered for admission to the school of their choice.
Some of the major weaknesses are as previously described, There is no real consistent monitoring of "quality" of the volunteer experience, some clubs/classes JROTC being one, which require community service for completion of their program, will not/do not allow hours earned in the program to count towards the graduation requirement.

That's the truth there Fins. Although in my case everything my recruiter told me was right on the money what happened, but that was a rare thing indeed. Preachers, Taxi Drivers, Palm Readers, and Recruiters. Never trust any of them is good advice. Oh, and when the stripper in the club tells you she really likes you, and maybe even says she loves you, don't fall for that load of fiction either.

They could also learn to not believe anything a military recruiter tells them. That helps them later when dealing with people in business.

It is just more fluff added to lots of other fluff. Teach them what they need to know to prepare for life in the big world. As for service, once they have their High School Diploma, then they can be qualified to learn about service for 2 to 4 years in the Military. Choice of Branches available too. There they can learn everything they need to know for college or use the OJT they get to begin a career where they have already shown that they are experienced in showing up for work on time, are able to follow instructions, along with dressing and acting properly in society.

Only I do see your side of it. I just dont have enough information about how the program is carried out over a 4 year period. How is it determined if the service is acceptable? Who supervises the kids as this has to take place after school. Who keeps the records of the hours? There are more questions then answers.
