During holidays,many US high school students have to do voluntary work for the community.They m
ay paint an old hou so that a new family can move in.They may make a food basket for a store.Perhaps they will collect toys for children in hospital.
But the students don't do all the just becau they want to help.They work becau they need to get community rvice credits （学分）for graduation.American high schools started to add community rvice to their curriculums （课程）about 15 years ago.
Students have to work for different numbers of hours in different states.In Maryland students work for 75 hours；in New York State,it's 100 hours.Some say that the rvice hours widen students' eyes.But others say that sometimes students just try to get the community rvice over.They think,"All I care about is getting the hours done.Who cares whether the work is uful"Some rich students simply pay other people to do the work for them.
But recently,a number of schools have begun to think that a lot of this" community work" is meaningless.For example,how valuable is checking pens for ink in a library
Patti Schackett,a community rvice teacher in New York,has cut the number of rvice hours to 60 from 100. "We would like students to choo uful projects," she said. "A more meaningful project would be,for example,to collect shoes for poor children in South Africa."
