You see, kids who are made to do things without compensation that they don't choose to do of their own free will tend to do a lousy job.
Some do, but some find out that they actually like doing it. I'd give them several choices though. Maybe some would prefer to cut grass or whatever to visiting seniors.
The great thing about volunteer services is that people are doing it because they WANT to.
There are plenty of things that I don't WANT to do, but I do them because the consequences of not doing them are consequences that I WANT even less.
Sorry, but IMO a big part of what's wrong with this country is that we have the idea that we are so free that we only have to do what we WANT to do. Maybe we need to start teaching our children that they and we have a responsibility to the family and to the community.
