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.

Good afternoon,

I would like to talk to you about the new proposition that the school is discussing. This suggestion states that new students should do 100 hours of community service during their high school careers in order to graduate. I think this is a fantastic idea, and I will explain the reasons why I think this is the case.

First of all, I believe that community service will bring great benefits to the students. This is because working towards improving their communities will give students a sense of accomplishment as well as a sense of unity with their neighbours.

Secondly, I believe that this will bring great benefits to the community as well. Many people in the community could use help in various matters. Therefore, the community will be happier and stronger if high school students collaborate in such a significant way.

There are some people who will argue that high school students do not have the time necessary to do all these hours. However, I would argue that this is an essential part of education. Students will learn the values of citizenship, respect, and love for their neighbours. This is so valuable it deserves to have a rightful place in their curriculum. Moreover, if students do these hours over their whole high school career, the activity will not pose a significant obstacle to achieving other goals they might have.

In conclusion, I believe the policy would greatly benefit both students and the community, and therefore, I urge you to support it. Thank you.
