What happens if you say no?
“What happens if you say no?”
Set a federal goal of 50 hours a year for each middle school student and reaching that goal by making federal funds contingent on middle schools requiring their students to serve those 50 hours.
Thus, it would be the public schools that would impose federal standards of coerced service on each child as part of their requirements for graduation. http://volokh.com/posts/1219902544.shtml#421553
If you say no, you do not get a diploma. I know of one woman’s now 20 year old daughter that still did not get her official diploma. She is in college, though. So, now with the new program, she won’t get that diploma either.
