How can you say that a public school has no right to choose its own curriculum?

If they want to include community service as part of their curriculum than why the hell not?

They MAKE you take Algebra and Geometry (completely worthless if you're a communications major like me) -- I had no choice there! It's just an attempt at broadening horizons, showing people the real world.

I think it's great.

James, I wouldn't consider this article to be any kind of expert opinion on the subject... As someone said earlier, it just sounds like the rantings of a HS student that's pissed that they have to get out from in front of their playstations and do something useful for a change.
