text: First, I would like to point out that yes, community service does teach children that there are things that need to be done in our community and it does also teach good character. But, not every child has parents that are able to take them to do their community service because most parents work. For example, my parents own their own business and yes they can just close it when ever they need to but, you also have to realize that if they are out taking me to do my community service their store is not open and when it isn't open they do not make money. If students can not make it to their community service and it is required, i don't think that is fair to make then suffer a punishment or have a lowered grade just because they had no way of getting there.
