Mandatory volunteering ?

I just read an article that say one county is trying to decide if they want to make a mandatory volunteering law for their county school system. This would require parents volunteer a set number of hours per year and the parents would get a grade at the end of the year on whether or not they reached the total number of hours required. I do not think that forcing people to do something is the way to go. Especially if certain parents are physically unable to do the hours due to lack of transportation or other handicaps. I must say I am glad they aren’t trying to do anything like this here. I would strenuously protest such a thing.
