text: If we had to do community service during school it would take time away from our learning and the students need as much time as they can in school to learn what they are doing so they can pass tests and pass the grade. If it was after school it could take time away from the students doing their homework, because most of the students have to do their homework after school and help clean their house. If they are in a sport also they wouldn't have enough time to help the community if it was mandatory.
