Schools shouldn't make us do community service, because we go to school to learn, and community service is a good thing, but it doesn't help us learn at all. As you can probably guess, most students won't agree with this new policy, so they most likely won't perform the required hours.

In my middle school leadership class we were required to do community service, and I don't think I ever completed the full amount of hours. I wasn't the only one, the majority of my classmates didn't do it either. Also, it's way too easy just to lie about it, so if middle school students got around it that easily, it would be a piece of cake for high school seniors.
