text: We as students are given many projects and a plethora of homework, not to mention studying for tests, to add community service as a requirement would nearly be a crime. Personally I think that community service is a great thing to do, but as a hobby not a requirement. If you where to add community service as a requirement I assure you that a lot of grade A students will be retained for not participating. I alone sometimes feel overwhelmed by the various work assignments that I receive at school, and I usually get an A or a B, but if I had to work community service as well i would become too over worked and start on a steep downward slope in my grades.
