Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can beneficial for teenagers and the community as well. Do you agree or disagree?
Teenagers
spend most of their time
in school
without any contact with real society, and many of them play video games after school
. So some people believe that it is beneficial both for the community
and teenagers
if students are required to do community
work
in their free time
. However
, I strongly oppose this
idea because I believe teenagers
have plenty of better options for their spare time
and their work
quality can be questioned if they are required to do work
after school
.
To begin
with, there are plenty of choices that are much better than community
work
. For instance
, they can develop hobbies, read books, and participate in social activities. They can even do paid part-time
jobs
if they want to experience what work
means. And if work
is paid, it can be easily evaluated whether this
work
is more valuable than playing the piano at home. Unpaid jobs
are less valuable than paid ones, and teenagers
may even choose other valuable activities rather than paid jobs
. In this
case, it is hard to say community
work
is the best choice for teens' free time
.
Secondly
, I doubt the quality of mandatory, after-school
work
from
youngsters. I assume most of their Change preposition
for
work
can not meet the standard of the community
. To illustrate, homework is one of the things which are mandatory in juveniles' free time
. With the apparent benefit and strict supervision, they still can not deliver their work
on time
. Community
work
which is far more difficult than homework won't be done to high standards accordingly
. Thus
required free work
from juveniles can hardly help communities to reduce their workload.
To conclude, requiring students to participate in unpaid work
after school
is unwise because students have plenty of better options and the delivery can never meet the standard of the community
. Alternatively, the community
can open some part-time
jobs
for teens. In this
way, teens will treat the work
more seriously and, as a consequence, both will benefit more.Submitted by qinzhen001 on
