When my daughter was a senior in college there was a mandatory graduation requirement that a student had to volunteer at some entity in the Fairbanks area.
I was more than a little 'huffy' about it.
Mandatory volunteerism seemed like more than just an oxymoron to me.
There are several things that should be taught that aren't. We get that at work a lot when people have to help out other areas. Its called voluntold. Lol

The educators in my family have came to the same conclusion. It’s a shame. The education system is broken. e
I disagree that the system is broken; I see it as society is broken. Teachers are like the innocent bystander in the gas station that gets robbed. Armed robber comes in and holds up the clerk and shoots, the bystander is shot for just being there. The Republican and Democrat "Karens" of this country are so pitted against each other, that the ones trying to do the right thing are having their hands tied behind their back. If the extremists could just take their head out of their rear ends for a moment and work together to accomplish what's best for ALL. The movement around here has been to vote in these wacked out freak extreme so-called republicans onto the school boards. I've been Republican all my life and they are a true embarrassment. Unbelievable the misinformation they spread and the blatant lies they get away with to further their agendas. They are forcing tunnel vision education on our kids and scrapping top tier methods.

Democrats are in charge of most school boards so I don't get your statement?

There's only so much time in a day. What classes should be cut for drivers education? They used to teach drivers Ed. in school. It was an elective, but I remember everyone signing up for it as soon as they got their driving permit. I don't know when that stopped. As far as I know, all the schools out west still do, didn't know they had stopped doing so back east.

You’re correct. The crazy pendulum swings both ways. Each side thinks it is only the other side but that’s laughable.

Unbelievable the misinformation they spread and the blatant lies they get away with to further their agendas. They are forcing tunnel vision education on our kids and scrapping top tier methods. School boards have been firmly controlled by Democrats for decades and they have failed miserably at running the nation's schools. When conservative parents finally got fed up enough about it to do something, it doesn't really surprise me that they chose extreme right individuals to replace them with. I think what really woke a lot of parents up was the push to embrace transgender and LGBTQ idealogies in schools. The school boards had became extreme left, and I think people felt the extreme right was needed to reset things. I know that there are just as many on the far right as on the far left that spread misinformation and find that unfortunate. I call it out when I see it and often get labeled as anti-Trump or even liberal for doing so, although that is far from true. I would be curious to know what you feel are the "top-tier methods" conservative board members are scrapping, though.
Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you

For specific names of programs, I would need to ask my wife or daughters. My oldest daughter was the most extensively involved a number of years in evaluating and getting trained on various curriculums and teaching methods. Implemented I think for three years and she was seeing huge improvements (elementary level). Her district was taken over by an extreme group of conservatives with no teaching experience. Board is directing them to revert to old curriculums and whacking head count, classes, and various programs. for the nearly 30 years I've been in Watertown area, I have been impressed the level of education. One of the few districts that produce well above average - high level of students go on to college or trades. Extremely high level of AG, Biology, Engineering, and music students. Now we have a board that knows more about educating kids than all the staff combined (Hhahahahahaha).
