Your school is considering adopting a policy that requires all students to complete 100 hours of community service during their high school careers in order to graduate. The district has asked for student input at the next school board meeting as to whether or not they should adopt this policy. Research the topic, decide whether you are in favor of or against the new policy, and write a five-paragraph persuasive speech that you will deliver to the school board members and your principal.

yes you are in favor of

because

1.community service would look good on college application

2.college admissions often can count community service as an extracurricular activity

3.people feel that like military service there should be a community service corps because like the miltary service, community service can help a nation

4.npr said a person who finishes military bootcamp can do the peace corps instead joining the military. peace corps is community service in other countries. if our country feels this strongly about community elsewhere then some kind of community service is probably deemed important here

5.its what you do with the experience: much career based knowledge can be learned in community and it is the job of the school to teach career skills like math and science. community service can go along side this. possible careers could be social work and politics

6. word community is in community service. this is a way you can help your own community or an underserved community
