The problem with news articles is that people overreact and don't actually think first. Student service learning hours are required for U.S. high school students (60 I believe is the minimum), and if you don't serve the hours, you won't graduate. So this guy is proposing that British minors would have to even less work and people are calling it slavery and fascism?

 

Well first off this requirement goes against my right to choose what to do or not. Besides, it isn't the responsibility of teenagers to look out for the country, hell no, their responsibility is to get an education and grow up. Forcing kids to do something like this is meaningless since it will probably have the opposite effect later in their life than it was meant to have.

there's no point in passing this "law" if after these couple of years almost none of the kids will continue the social work. It's people like scifiboy that should be encouraged to do so, but not force him to do so.



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.
