Some people believe that unpaid community service should be compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

I completely agree on the latter side of the argument.

have with others and whatever free time they have must be utilized for their pleasure. If they are forced to do charity, it will do more damage than any good to themselves as well as the society.
