The question of whether

in secondary education is a topic of controversy in the realm of academia. Some contend that taking part in
community
service
can instil kindness and politeness in children, others advocate that
schools
should focus only on academic subjects.
However
, I acknowledge that there are some merits in both perspectives, but I am inclined to agree that high school must encourage volunteering in
community
service
alongside its curriculum.
Community

is a great way to teach the young generation, societal values like kindness, helping those in need and being polite to one another.

In conclusion,
while
being a member of society, one must learn to give back and
community
service
offered by high
schools
is a great way to teach that but making it mandatory for everyone may not be in the best interest of every student. Different
students
have different goals, and they should decide how to spend their valuable
time
, it could be preparing for the desired college or taking part in

. In my opinion, it should be dependant on each student if they want to volunteer or not, as
time
is very precious and they would much rather like spend on preparing for college or exams.
