To a small degree they exist. At least for the parents of said children. My kids’ school frequently asks for parent volunteers to go on field trip to help watch the kids.

Do I have to bring my own cattle prod or do they provide those?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe the school system provides those for free.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Then they'll be issued guns

I'm concerned how powerful these cattle prods are that the Department of Energy is involved /s

Yeah ours used to do that, and now they require a full background check before you can volunteer. So no field trips.

The local animal shelter is begging for dog walkers. But they send your info to a totally shady international background check place that shouldn't know very much and also violates data sovereignty.

So no dog walkers.

A background check for working with kids makes sense. For walking dogs though? What do they think is gonna happen?

Nah, I'll pass on that one.

The background check is pretty easy. Costs less than $20 iirc.

Perhaps they've done something totally awesome that means they can't pass one?
