No I'm not missing it, I understand what he's saying. I'm just saying I'd only support something like that if the kids got something back out of it. I don't agree with forcing them to do it, unless it's part of the curriculm and they get some sort of credit for it.

I was just posting my opinion of what I thought a acceptable alternative should be.
