10 hours of community service in four years?!

I think that it's important to teach kids the value of service. Especially today when I see a lot of, for lack of better terminology, spoiled brats who spend 20 hours a week just hanging around the mall.

I know a lot of students who were required to do community service to graduate high school, and most of them enjoyed it. I did it, when it wasn't required, because I enjoyed it.

As for GLOs... no it's not hazing to require members to participate in service. The prospective members are well aware of these requirements before they join. That's a big reason why a lot of them join GLOs in the first place.

Oh, and the article isn't very well-written. The author is throwing around terms like "neo-conservatist" & "neo-liberal" without any obvious clue what s/he is talking about, politically. Let me guess, it's a high school student who doesn't want to spend 10 whole hours helping their community?
