Schools should require community service to graduate. Schools should require community service because of the character it builds and the purpose it serves. According to aasa.org, community service builds community support and it allows students to reflect on what they did. This is important for a developing mind because of the benefits it provides in the grand scheme of things. This also benefits society because the kids will grow up with a sense of right and wrong while helping society flourish through the service itself. Community service required in all high schools would benefit the students and the community.
Schools should not require community service to graduate. Community service should not be required in school because of its benefits. Community service is voluntary so the benefits it provides should be for those who want them and not for those who don't care because they are requried. According to aasa.org, community service builds character and if it is required it will not be the same as it is when it is voluntary because people won't feel the same. Community service provides support for someone becoming a good person and if its required that support won't be the same.
My opinion is that community service should not be required. Community service provides many benefits for those who actually do it. If it was required it wouldn't be considered doing a good deed. Community service is for those who want to help society and become do good for others. Community service isn't for everyone and it should stay that way.
I agree, if everybody is required to do it, its no longer community service just unpaid labor for large amounts of work provided to the community.
