I liked more when it was volunteer community service to gain access to a higher level of scholarship option. 75% scholarships didn't require volunteer work, 100% scholarships did. No one is forced to do anything, but you can choose to do so and it benefits your options.
tieing it to scholarship is difficult because you're gonna end up with a bunch of nerdy guys who have the palest skin you've ever seen standing in the middle of texan sun ... not ideal.
good way to break that shell. also again we’re not debating labor on farms here, more civics in this thread
the his was actually the reason but the high school also mandated it. to be honest a lot of kids ended up just working with their parents and getting away with that sadly. 100% agreed with you
Ah, they didn't allow the working with a family member in Florida. Had to do a non-profit or government program. Although I know 2 people who got around that by volunteering to do the clock/statkeeping for the kids basketball games. They'd show up on Saturday every weekend so the parents and such didn't have to do it. And being that they both played basketball, it fit their interests and they noted all the individual stats instead of just the total score. The leagues are non-profit so it was an easier one.
that’s how it should be. lolol stop clock is a lottery win for those 2
