OT on volunteering...
If you have kids who are “required” to “volunteer” try to get volunteer work for your church or synagogue to count for this requirement. Some school administrators will applaud you because they dislike the requirement, too. The far left will be pained by this because it meets the requirement, but doesn’t fit with their atheist sensibilities. Some may disallow it. If so, try to find some other volunteer activity that they dislike, maybe a pro-life charity.
“If you have kids who are “required” to “volunteer” try to get volunteer work for your church or synagogue to count for this requirement.”
That is exactly what I would do if this requirement was forced on us. I’ve also noticed that “volunteering” never seems to go as far as doing something for free that is normally done by a union hack...
