Some of people believe that unpaid community service should be compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what xtent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the activities promoted by the high schools programmes are often strictly concerning the standard curricular subjects. In order to enrich the education, some people believe that unpaid services for the

community

should become compulsory for students. I partially agree

this

point and in

this

essay I would suggest some food for thoughts. One of the major benefits is the educational aspect. Students who offer some help to the

community

, for sure, would

also

learn how to deal with all kinds of people and

this

would enhance their inner growth and to be respectful of human beings. Particularly, if pupils

are just focused

Suggestion

just focus

on their own homeworks and affairs, they would totally forget what be part of a

community

means. Another relevant aspect is the reward of

help

Suggestion

helping

someone else. If I am very gifted in something, it could be useful to test my skills trying to teach them to others and

moreover

their successes would, of course, gratify me.

For example

, being the coach of a team and teach children how to play well, would be very stimulating. On the other side of the story, being forced to offer some

community

services could highlight many drawbacks. Nobody should be constricted to do something, but, maybe its wonder to help can be stimulated resizing

this

experience as a competition, where something can be won. Through

this

trick, students would be encouraged to perform these activities.

Moreover

, teachers should leave students the freedom to select the activity that would involve them the most. It is useless to oblige students without sports skills to arrange a football team; everybody should follow own abilities to serve others. To sum up, I personally believe that extracurricular activities concerning services useful for the

community

, could be interpreted as a stimulating way to make students getting rid of the school frame and

starting live the

starting to live the

reality as it is, full of problems and people who needs support.

However

, more that force students, these services should reflect pupils' predispositions to be more effective.
