Sorry to hear that your daughter's community service work to FLL was not acknowledged by her school. A key word in your message is DAUGHTER. A young lady volunteered at a robotics competition! While the public schools and colleges are scrambling to try and figure out why women aren't interested in engineering and math, they take time out to reject your daughter's community service hours at a Lego League robotics event dominated by males. Maybe you should point out that your daughter was inspiring young girls, a minority group in the engineering world. Personally, I'd make my own extra fancy sticker to put on her high school diploma and forget about the high school's sticker for 50 hours of approved community service. Just make sure that she includes this very worthwhile volunteer experience on her college applications. I'm sure every college that reads your daughter's college application will be very impressed by HER contribution to a robotics event. Best wishes to your daughter, Debbie Brumback ______________________________________________________________ To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list".
