Obama to implement mandatory community service for students?

[_Christian_]

The shit ppl are finding to complain about!
And what if he did?

Because there's something wrong with kids learning that there's more
to life than just getting through life only caring about yourself?

Give me a fucking break.

Tell that to someone who is working full time to pay for their college (full time also). That aside, do you not realize it's unconstitutional to force servitude?

I mean if obama says he will lower tuition, students are gonna have to give a little. i think its a good idea. Community service never hurt nobody, "most" students would use this time to volunteer at a place involving their field. And besides most grants/scholarships wnat community service etc, and even private schools require it..

Ok, your comment is at least intelligent. If someone is on a gov't grant or scholarship, then I am for it. Some private schools require it, but you can choose not to attend a private school.

Amen on both accounts.

Honest question. Other than Military Academy's what other higher education institutions are Federal?

Most college's are state run from my understanding so Obama can only do 1 of 3 things.

1. He can ASK the state to lower tution and costs.(This won't happen for many reason's there is a reason why is it is getting more and more expensive to go to college a big part of which is operating costs. Hell at my school they have turned the hot water in the showers almost completely off to save money on energy costs)

2. He can implement the his tax credit.(Which in my opinion should be at the family's discretion as to whether or not to claim it since to get it according to him will require service in either the military, peace corps, etc. And the money from this has to come from somewhere which is a whole seperate issue)

3. He can issue these state college's more money for operating costs which could bring down the cost to go to college(but again money's gotta come from somewhere)

I would hope though he wouldn't try to interfere with private schools cause that's just

some majors require it also, you can get your foot in the door with volunteer/community service. Its not really a stretch or a hassle. Its not like you will be forced to pick up trash on the highway and scrapping toilets.. You come when you want, and leave when you want.

Jury duty

That is not forced servitude as you are not added to the rolls unless you are registered to vote.
