re: #353 reine.de.tout

Well, you’re making my point.
Parents should have influence and say-so in what the family’s gift of time to others will be, and it should reflect what is important to that family.

Which is why this mandatory volunteering service hours DOES NOT BELONG AS PART OF A SCHOOL CURRICULUM.

Nor should there be any mandatory voluntary children’s “corps” of any sort.

Is it ironic that we’re discussing forced labor of children and slavery in the same thread?
