Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmers (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There are people who think that unpaid
community
service should be obliged for high school
students. I totally agree with this
, because helping as a volunteer can learn, a student useful skill and it can also
bring great effort to a community
.
Firstly
, working as a volunteer can learn students skills they will not learn at school
. Useful skills, such
as caring for the elderly, cleaning community
buildings or serving the people in need are not usually part
of a high school
curriculum. Although
these skills do not seem immediately necessary to get high scores, they will attribute to the future of students. For instance
, they might once be part
of a small community
and knowing already how to serve a community
will give them a headstart
.
Suggestion
head start
Furthermore
, students taking part
in ordinary daily community
life can bring a great effort into it. Instead
of just hanging around the campus, partying and chilling out with other students, a sort of "community
duty" can help them come out of their comfort zone and serve the place they live in. For example
, lots of community
service in the Netherlands always are in great need of volunteers. Sometimes they even need to cancel events or services because of the shortage of people.
In conclusion, making unpaid community
service a compulsory part
of high school
can help both the students as the community
. I strongly believe that this
may serve students, because they gain new skills that they will not learn at school
and it may serve the community
by bringing lots of workforces to help them with their work.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
