Trying the intro:
Some people think high school students should do unpaid community work as part of school. I think it can teach students to help others, but it should be a choice rather than something compulsory.
Is my opinion clear? should the reasons go here or in the body?

Different position:
Some people believe schools should require students to take part in unpaid community service. I partly agree, because helping locally could be useful, but students should have a choice of activities and the hours should be reasonable.
Is that clear, or too much detail for the intro?

This sounds like agreeing with compulsory service, but with conditions. Would 'I agree, provided that...' fit better? Choosing the activity is different from choosing whether to take part.

'I agree, provided that' does fit better. My old version left 'choice' doing two jobs: compulsory service with a choice of activity, not a choice about taking part. The swap avoids that.
