text: Because certain students need a considerable amount of time to be devoted to their school work in able to understand the information they are taught, community service should not be required of the students. Imagine yourself in the position of a young student who has little time to spend with their friends or participate in out-of-school activities, because the majority of their time is devoted to schoolwork. In turn, in order to meet the amount of community service due in the allotted time, they are forced to spend less time in other subjects, consequentially lowering their grade in the class. The resulting situation is that the services aimed to better the community have degraded the student's regime.
