Colleges and universities value volunteerism and well-roundedness over perfect grades, I think. I mean, a B+ student that volunteers and plays on the baseball team has a better chance than an A student with a lethargic streak, I think. Kerry's proposal isn't a dramatic thing. All kids who want to have quality post-secondary education have mandatory volunteer hours in the first place. And those who don't want to go to college, volunteerism will benefit them and their communities. If students are forced to take fine arts or science courses, why is it such a leap of logic for some to see volunteerism/activism as mandatory "courses"?
