text: Sir, you are our principal. You usually do know what's best for us and our beautiful school but you may not know all of us as a group that well. The kids who have brothers and sisters to take care of at home, practice for a sport, or just want to have a good time with their friends do not have time half the days in the week to do this. If you give them the time to make their own schedule or re arrange days to hang out with friends, you may see a better majority of kids who wish to help out in their community by giving back in the form of community service. The worst thing that can go wrong for you by giving them the option is that maybe just 10 kids take place in what you want them to do. And then all you have to do from there is just sit down and talk with them during an assembly or whatever just to get them motivated.
