text: My second reason that I feel community service should be optional is that some students wont do it from the heart. Nowadays a lot of kids feel that is important to impress their friends so they do thing for attention ,hence; the task will never be done from the heart. There are some students who are willing to do this and then there are those one who wouldn't give a "hoot!" Well this is why this should be optional and not mandatory. As an example, if I were to go to a party and wanted it clean so I made it mandatory for kids fourteen and up to clean the area then most of them wouldn't do it from the heart, whereas just asking form volunteers you know the job will get done whole-heartedly
