WHY SHOULD CSL BE COMPULSARY TO ALL SENIERS GRADE 10 AND FORMS 3 AND4
Richard Feynman
Look, you've got it backwards. Making CSL mandatory for everyone wastes time and resources on kids who'll never use it. Some students are headed for university, trades, or jobs where civic service doesn't matter. You're forcing square pegs into round holes. Better to let seniors *choose* service programs that match their actual goals and interests. Mandatory programs breed resentment, not genuine civic engagement. The kids who actually want to serve will do it anyway. Why drag the rest along? Voluntary programs create real commitment, not just checkbox compliance that teaches nothing.
What specific benefit do you think forced service gives that voluntary programs don't?
