1. Academic discussion_volunteering as part of school curricula

This is a challenging topic, but I think that [k1: personal involvement – academic discussion requires neutral stance] it can be argued that required volunteering hours can greatly benefit both students and community [k4: missing article] the community at large.

I strongly agree with Emily’s idea that spending time helping others creates an understanding of communal bond [k3: unnatural collocation + k4: article] a sense of communal bonding and responsibility. I’d [k1: no contractions in academic writing] I would add that this type of charity work provides students with a level of autonomy they rarely get before being thrust upon their adulthood [k3: unnatural phrasing] entering adulthood.

It is crucial to prepare for this experience, yet a lot of times [k1: informal wording] in many cases this part of education is neglected in traditional curriculum [k4: missing article] the traditional curriculum.

While James raised the relevant point that even without any extra work students are often overworked, he didn’t [k1: no contractions in academic writing] did not mention that volunteer work can be incorporated appropriately and be accounted for [k4: parallelism] accounted for in the program.

As a result, teenagers won’t [k1: no contractions in academic writing] will not be required to stay at school longer hours and they will help people around them [k3: primitive coordination / limited syntactic variety – coordinated clause where a relative or participial construction is stylistically preferable in academic writing], and will be able to help people around them, while acquiring helpful skills. will not be required to stay at school longer hours thereby devoting more time on helping people around them and acquiring developing social skills

While I appreciate the points mentioned by James and Emily, I think that [k1: personal involvement – neutral phrasing required] it can be maintained that volunteering, required or not [k4: faulty coordination / ambiguity] whether mandatory or voluntary, serves the underprivileged, the elderly, and a number of other groups.

We can look at the work [k3: underspecified reference – the noun lacks a clarifying modifier in an academic evaluative statement] community service as a moral obligation for any group, including high schoolers.

Remember that It should be noted/remembered that this question can be looked at through many lenses, so it is natural to take preferences of both teenagers and their parents [k4: missing article] the preferences of both teenagers and their parents into account.

___ [k2: delayed synthesis – Here, a summarising linker is expected. Using a concessive phrase makes the conclusion sound unfinished.] Overall, Some people may feel that schools should focus on academic side [k4: missing article] the academic side of education, less on the moral or practical one [k3: weak contrast formulation] rather than the moral or practical one , but I think [k1: personal involvement] it is reasonable to argue that if kids spend most of their time in school, it is natural to give them all fundamentals [k3: vague word choice] essential skills there.

The discussion therefore suggests that volunteering can be integrated into school programs in a way that balances academic demands with social responsibility, while remaining sensitive to students’ and parents’ preferences.
