text: What I'm really trying to tell you is, community service is definitely important, but we should let the students that volunteer and enjoy doing community service do community service, and not force students that may not want to do it otherwise. Some of these kids could be very bitter towards the needier side of our community. You should definitely make it seem fun for kids to do it. You could also hand extra credit points to people that do the community service if they need to get better grades and have no where else to get extra credit.
