text: Another big reason you shouldn't force students to do community service is because not everyone doing community service is a good person. I say this because when someone commits a crime, such as rape, murder, theft, and other crimes, they do not always get sent to jail, they are sentenced to do a certain number of hours for the community. Therefore, some students may meet some bad role models, and some may be influenced by what these people say and grow up to be a bad person. Also, some students may be harmed by these people, which is never good. I'm not saying that all the people that commit crimes and are sentenced to community service are horrible people around kids. But there is a big chance that they could be.
