What's the big deal?
At my school during A-levels, we had to do one week of community service. Most people were happy to do it, no one complained because it was beneficial for us at the end of the day.
The reason we did it was for a General studies community project we had. We helped the reputation of a school by working closely with the community and made our school and the surrounding area a bit more pleasant. I'm all for it...
People also seem to think that community service is a punishment, when it is not in a lot of cases. Therefore it has a mystique of social wrongdoing and the very bottom rung of society about it.
