The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must sixty hours of service learning, they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many __ of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think their own interests and become of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that ___responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. . , students can explore possible careers service learning. For example, if a student wonder what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.

there are many benefits, opponents problems with the new requirement. First, they that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual’s freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. , I don’t believe you should force people to help others---the to help must come from the heart. I think the best is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
