There have been comparisons to taking gym that I think are good but about the requirement to read books from a reading list.
As part of the school curriculum students are taught to read.
We (society) accept this.
Students at all levels of public school are required to read specific books in class, for homework, over the summer. Each school may have a different list or required books.
Do we (society) accept this? We do.
But wait, aren't there moral and other messages that are major parts of these books?
Studetns are required to read these books.
Is there a differene between this and community service?
I don't see a difference.
Our schools don't teach our kids the basics by sticking only to the basics.
- Basic math gets wrapped in word problems that give context.
- Students are required to write on certain topics. Sometimes even take prescribed a position on an argument in writing an essay.
- Students are required to read specified books.
Requiring community service of some sort would be more open then any of the above becuase assumably (fake word?) students would be able to choose how to carry out their community service (within accepted boundries whatever they be).
