lol. this reminds me of the time when my high school had all of the biology classes plant flowers and trim the bushes in front of the school. they said it was valid for bio classes but the real reason is because they didn't want to pay the custodial/yard workers any overtime. HAH HAH. it wasn't horrible but it was pretty shady.
as for the original point. i truly feel that public service is a necessity for our country. if a couple of schools want to require a few hours to graduate. DANG - stop whining and help and old lady cross a street. or even better, help some of the 1st graders learn to read. 10 hours is extremely easy to achieve and i think that EVERYBODY (not just teens) need to develop a little more respect through volunteering/public service.
as for the arguement against forcing it. hey - we're forced/expected to do things all the time that we don't wanna do. i most certainly didn't want to take a stupid proficiency test ever 3 years at my school. i didn't want to go to school at 7.30 in the morning, i didn't want to disect a frog, and i definetely resented being forced to do a stupid science fair project every year.
point is...it's just one more thing. kids will survive.
