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

It is said that schools should obligate unpaid
community
service as a part of high school programs. I strongly agree with
this
statement mainly because of improving
students

skills
. The
first
reason is that
students
could have better job opportunities in the future. As
students

to be in situations that learn

like effective communication with others. They
also
learn moral values like helping others after working for a charity or helping poor children with their studies.
However
, some may argue that
students
do not have enough

for doing voluntary services. Schools have tight curriculums and
