Why not? Who says he's doing it as punishment? There are lots of other reasons, it looks great on college applications, its required for some school clubs, and its a generally nice thing to do. OP's kid could be doing it for any of those reasons and more!

As a matter of fact, in Ontario, you must do a certain numer of community service hours in high school to receive your diploma.

My high school in California required community service for graduation. And even after that, I volunteer every now and then to clean up a beach or a school or whatever. Someone raised you badly if you think giving back to the community is nothing more than a punishment.

The accident being that you did a Harlem sjake video?

Did you take an arrow to the knee?

You can be the best parent in the world and still have a child or children that take the wrong path and end up in a lot of trouble because of rebellion, peer pressure ect.

Some school systems require a certain number of community service hours to be performed in order to graduate. Both my elementary and high schools had that as a requirement (they were both Catholic). I hope this clears that up for you. :3
