Answer 2

Once you figure that out, start working out how you're going to go with him to college to help him cheat in his classes.

It's still relatively early in the school year and there is plenty of time to do the community service. Rather than helping him cheat, help him find something he'll enjoy - or maybe even do something together. Volunteer at an after school program or with a youth sports league. Community service doesn't just mean picking up garbage on the side of the road or serving soup to the homeless - although both are worth causes.

Answer 3

Let's just hope you make sure you take care of your other kids' hours better than his (assuming you have other kids) 40 hours turns into 10 hours a year, 1 hour a month, 15 minutes a week and finally 2 1/2 minutes a day! I think you can also earn a scholarship doing LOADS of Com. hours I know a guy who has 200+ hours in just 2 years!

Answer 4

Don't cheat for him! Help him find a worthy cause and complete his 40 hours before graduation. I'm assuming he graduates in the spring...which is thousands of hours from right now....I'm sure he can squeeze in 40 hours by then. Call a nursing home, a church, a shelter, a food bank....look in your local paper - some of them run "Volunteer" sections. Please, don't teach him that it's OK to shrug off the responsibility of helping others or to cheat your way through it. He'll get a lot more out of it if he actually does the work. Good luck!

Answer 5

40 hours is only one week's worth of work. I THINK you could find something for him to actually DO. There are volunteer programs at parks. I'm sure if you called the Parks and Rec department in your city, they could help you with that. He could volunteer at your local community center, or ask a local charity (like the Salvation Army or United Way) about volunteer programs.

Seriously...what's so impossible or horrible about the thought of him actually DOING the volunteer work? It certainly won't hurt him. He HAS the time before graduation. You know, if you coddle him and fake this...you're only cheating him. It's character building for him to actually do something for someone else, without consideration for what he gets out of it. A little selflessness never hurt anyone, and even though he may HATE the idea, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually liked being a part of something like that when it's all over.

Answer 7

If he's into adventure, and doesn't have a weak heart, I'm always quick to suggest letting him ride along with a local police patrol unit for a few nights. For most (18 & older) kids this is better than the best video game ever played ...It's REAL !
And doing the night shift is even "REAL-er"! For sure he'll love you for it, and he'll have NO interest in sleeping during shift.
I rode with Austin, TX (APD) officers back in the late 70's for about 3 years, and I still wouldn't trade the experience for NUTHIN' !
Some nights were plenty cold, but cops always know where to find the best hot coffee & donuts day OR night.

Answer 8

You can't cheat, but you can get him to do his hours quickly by setting up events that are in large chunks of time. For instance, Habitat for Humanity looks for people to work 4hr shifts minimum. Additionally, 40hrs is only 5 full workdays, so he could do a travelling project for a full week (like clean-up in New Orleans over Spring Break).

Additionally, you might want to look and see if anything he is already doing would count as community service (like coaching a PeeWee Team or helping elderly neighbors, anything he does for free).

Answer 9

how about not cheat and let your son suffer the consequences of his own actions. Volunteering is a great way to do community service and your son would learn a great deal from it. Giving up some time for a good cause is always rewarding.

Answer 10

my son had community service too. i talked to his p.o. about using work at home to go towards his hours. she agreed, but not for dishes, vacuuming, etc. it had to be for cleaning out the garage, raking leaves, mowing, etc. it had to be real physical work. if you're allowed to do this, don't lie about the hours. his p.o. might drive up some day to check on the work he had done. if he drove by friday at 5:00pm, and you reported he mowed the yard at 5:00 pm, he will know you lied. make him do the work. it will make him a better person in the long run. there aren't any legal short cuts, or cheat sheets in life. he can donate his time at the boys / girls club, church, senior center, convalescent home, or helping out a neighbor who is old, or disabled. he just needs to get motivated, and set some time a side daily instead of weekly. that way it isn't so over whelming.

Answer 11

You should never cheat for him. If you cheat for him you'll just make it to easy for him and you'll also be setting a bad example for him. He just needs to go out there and do it on his own. After all it's only 40 hours it shouldn't be that hard for him to do. He could probably do that in just a couple of weekends.
