Question

Use the discussion to answer the question.

1. Miguel: I think it’s very important for people to volunteer. Our high school should make volunteer work a requirement for graduation.
2. Sita: I think it’s absolutely true that volunteer work is worthy and important. But I don’t think it should be required for students to graduate. For one thing, some students have paying jobs, and they need that money. It’s not fair to ask them to give that up to do volunteer work.
3. Miguel: It could be part of the school day. For example, people could volunteer to spend a free period tutoring other kids or helping the maintenance staff or working in the school office.
4. Sita: That’s ridiculous. Not everyone has a free period, and even when they do, they might need it for getting homework done or meeting with a teacher. I mean, all of those things you mentioned are great for people to do if they want to and if they have time. But not everyone has the time or the desire.
5. Miguel: It could be a dedicated chunk of time during the school day, like a class period. It would be a very popular activity. Everyone wants to help other people.
6. Sita: But then you’re taking away academic time. Listen, I think volunteer work is great, and people should do it if they want. But you shouldn’t force it on people.
7. Miguel: So, if I understand you, we are both in favor of people doing volunteer work. But I think it should be mandatory for graduation, and you don’t.
8. Sita: That’s right.
