My school actually didn't publish a list of what would be okay. If you wanted to you could count mowing your grandmother's yard. Your parents didn't count but I think that was it.

Anything that forces kids to get out of their comfort zones and into the community is fine with me.

I might have a problem if it were ONLY the abortion clinic on the list (not that I really have a stance on that one way or the other, it's just the principle of the thing) but you KNOW that's a red herring.

No matter how "liberal" as you call it the list is I'm sure you'll still have places like The United Way, Special Olympics, Nursing Homes, etc... 10 hours is NOT that much to ask in 4 years but it could probably teach a more valuable lesson than your Algebra class did.
