Students shouldn’t cheat volunteer hours

December 15, 2016 — by Amy Tang

Student's should not volunteer just to get the awards.

Due to the mandatory scholastic commitment of obtaining four volunteer hours, many students have found ways to cheat volunteering and amass a ridiculous amount of hours for doing absolutely nothing to benefit the community. Some students merely sign up to volunteer and sit at a desk for hours doing homework or scrolling through social media just to get a form signed by a supervisor. This makes it extremely unfair for students who actually strive to make a difference in the community and spend much more effort in less hours. The significance of one’s volunteering cannot be classified merely by time.
