Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
no,inever had to anyways. but some people cant work it in to there schedule for diffrent reasons...and really pressure about grades is enough to worry about.it should be the students choice.

i think it shouldnt be required. in my school we do one our senior year, its such a hassel when your getting ready to graduate, and most of the people dont do it and just make it up. i think it sucks! haha

It looks good on a college application, so yes.

No, I don't think it should be mandatory. I think that the students should be informed or even encouraged to participate in service activities but not forced... it takes away the meaning of helping out and making it a pain in the ass for everyone involved. <3

Our high school requires freshmen and sophmores to do 2 hours (per year) and juniors and seniors to do 3 hours (per year) and since it was just started this year, you don't have to make up for previous years.
I do and don't like the idea. School isn't for learning to help out, its learning what you need to make it in life. It's good that they want us to help out in the community, but it shouldn't be required. The major problem i have with it : We can't sign out of our study hall and help out teachers for our "community service" I help out in the kindergarden classes daily and it doesn't count toward my service hours.
I think they should make it so if you do community service and have the other person sign for it, you should just be rewarded at graduation. Like with the cords they wear. Have a cord for the students who did the community service. More students would want to do it. Instead of feeling obligated, they could enjoy what they were doing and be doing it for the right reasons.

I do and don't.
I do because the community is giving them the time, and education to be successful later on in life.
I don't because I wouldn't want to do it.
Thank god I'm not a freshmen this year, because at my school the freshmen have to do community service in order to graduate.

No.
High school is for education, not
proper human morals. If we were
required to be better people in school,
then sure, community service would
be fine. Howevever, school is to
learn to count, subtract, and say
our ABC's. There is nothing about
picking up trash in there. I'm not
saying it would be a bad idea though,
dont get me wrong.
Good Luck <3

No, I don't think community service should be a graduation requirement for high school students. While this isn't true of all high school students, some are active in everything from sports to music to student government (and have jobs), and expecting them to have time for community service just wouldn't work.
