text: But, there are also many reasons that this boy/girl may not want to part take in community service. Yes, it is a very important necessity for people to be cleaning up their neighborhood but they should not be forced into doing it. Many of the children these days attend extra curricular activities, so depending on what time they "must" attend community service, it might take away from other fun things they do fore themselves. Also, if the student is having trouble in school, with or without an extra curricular, forcing them to part-take in community labor would not only hurt their grades in school, but hurting grades means hurting everyone else, even your own family. Think about it, has a mother/father even gotten a bad report about their son or daughter from a school teacher and been thrilled? No, these parents want their children to succeed in school, and succeed in life. Also, what if the child just flat out does not want to engage in a straining activity like so? Maybe they would rather spend time with their family and friends, and get to meet new people. Being socially active is important also.
