Now a days, many high school programmes includes unpaid community services such as working for a charity, improving neighbourhood etc. which is a good initiative. However, some people think it should be compulsory so in this essay I am going to talk about whether I am agreeing or disagreeing with this.
From my opinion, I think unpaid community services in high school programs effectively improve students ability in various ways. Because, these help a student to become good at his communication and interpersonal skills as well as his leadership skill. For example, when a high school student start working for a charity or teaching games to younger children his communication and leadership skill will increase noticeably during his activity in providing the community services. Another example is that a student can receive real life experiences along with his high school degree which will greatly support him in his future career only if the community services is compulsory in school programmes,
On the other hand, giving community services along with high school studies may significantly effect a student due to many pitfalls. When a student involves with providing community service he needs to interact with communities which can distract him from his main high school studies. One example is that improvement of the neighbourhood is being done by students through various activities thus effect the students focus, attention and consistency with their studies.
To conclude, I would like to agree that unpaid or voluntary community services should be a compulsory part in high school programmes despite having some negative consequences. Although, from my opinion voluntary community services in high schools can noticeably grow a students ability in many areas.
