text: I disagree with your idea to require students to participate in community services. In my opinion we should have a choice in those sorts of things. Not only that but, what about homework, family, and other school or home related activities? There are some up sides to that idea and i understand that it would help the environment and make the neighborhood look a lot better. But, what about what the children want? I'm positive that there are some students that may want to do that and that is great. Let those individuals choose what they would like to do. For example, someone might need some extra credit and they could do the community service to earn that. Another idea is to make that an extra activity like sports or band. When would the students have time for the community service? Would it be during or after school? In my point of view either way would be interfering with either grades or home.
