text: Another reason why I think community service is important is not only because it helps the environment, but because it can encourage some kids to get out and experience new things and ideas, instead of sitting around all day at home playing video games or watching television. I myself have a habit of doing that, but I help out sometimes. I'll go to my dads work sometimes and help out with the elderly, or I'll help my neighbor kids with their work that they don't understand, or I'll go shovel somebody's walk. Community service can be really fun and I think that kids just need to realize that there's a whole bunch of choices with helping out in the community. That's the position I stand in. Thank you for your time.Although in theory a student-designed project sound good, in practice the students will most likely struggle to make the project because of lack of understanding the project. This is why a teacher-designed project would be beneficial because it would be more thought out, leave a clear outline of what to do in the project and have more structure then say a student designed project.
