So, do you think community service hours should be a requirement in order to graduate high school?

Although I don't think it should be required, but I like the idea. My oldest son took a community service class his senior year. He tutored elementary school kids in math. The school also held blood drives.
I'm very big on giving back to the community. As you know, I run my son's elementary school haunted house and my sons and sister help. Over the years we've raised $1,500. I understand the time commitment. I won't be doing it next year as I plan on going back to work.
Our hockey teams were required to do community service. They visited hospitals and nursing homes. They found it very rewarding.
