Students should be able to volunteer in there community for school because when I was a young boy in 3rd grade we did a project on helping are community and we raised a LOT of money for the food shelter and helped the community but we still incorporated it into learning.

It should be mandatory that students have to garden at school because it improves students learning and test scores.

We should have mandatory volunteering because if volunteering was mandatory then there would be way more participation to help our school. Also, some people complain that volunteering isn't fun but if everyone came it might be because your friends could be there. A little extra help would go a long way. According to http://edlab.tc.columbia.edu/index.php?q=node/ it helps build leadership skills in students and better prepares them for future jobs in which leadership is valued. it wont let me have quotation marks sorry. For all these reasons and more, we should have mandatory volunteering because it would be very benefitial for students

its not volunteering if its mandatory then its assigned work

mainly because vol entering is asking to do something on your own will. However mandatory is something which gives no choice about the manner
