As stated in Ontario Secondary Schools, Grades 9 to 12: Program and Diploma Requirements, 1999 (OSS), every student who begins secondary school during or after the 1999–2000 school year must complete a minimum of 40 hours of community involvement activities as part of the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The purpose of the community involvement requirement is to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility and of the role they can play and the contributions they can make in supporting and strengthening their communities.
Community involvement activities are part of the school’s program. >>

Interesting....For our area, the service has to be done OUTside of class time.
The difference between Maryland's and other service requirements, is that "service learning" is directed by educators so that activity is focused on a common goal in a learning environment.

>Now imagine the howls from the left if Mayor Guiliani had skipped out of New York a week after 9/11/<<
Not to totally steer this conversation off its topic, but 9/11 was a very different situation. A few city blocks in a very non-residential neighborhood were destroyed, not the entire city. And after ten days, most of the immediate rescue work that could be done had been done. Those stuck at the Superdome had been evacuated. Perhaps more of his residents were in Dallas, at that point.
Also -- lots of actual New Yorkers hate Guiliani. I think most of the admiration for him came from a national level, not by those subject to his rule.

To address each of your points:
Tax cuts--increased our budget deficit, thereby increased our national debt. Yeah, not such a great idea.
Strengthening military--please explain how? Spending more money on wars is not strengthening our military.
Taliban--still causing HUGE troubles in Afghanistan.
Hussein--and we're now involved in a military situation that could very well require our presense for decades. Sorry, I don't think that invading a sovereign nation that posed no real threat to our nation to be a good thing, and neither will history.
North Korea--explain how that situation is "cleaned up"? I recall they still have nukes, and they still don't like us. BTW--between Carter and Clinton was 8 years of Reagan and 4 years of the elder Bush.
I will agree he showed great leadership in 2001, but that was the last we saw of it. I voted for him in 2000, and was so disgusted by 2004 that I voted for Kerry.
>>Tax cuts, strengthening the military, getting rid of Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, wiping up the North Korea mess that Carter/Clinton left, two great SCOTUS appointments, etc... And especially the way he showed unwavering strength after 9/11. That's just off the top of my head...<<
You are aware that the Taliban has not been gotten rid of at all? That they are gaining power and spreading to Pakistan, and that Afghanistan is turning into even more of a huge mess? It's really not something he should put at the top of his resume. And North Korea also hasn't been much of a success -- he tried to abandon Clinton's plan, and they stocked up on plutonium and tested a nuke... And unwavering strength after 9/11? Is that what you call invading the wrong country?
