A group of students has proposed that the school plant a garden to produce fresh food for cafeteria lunches. The group thinks th
at all students should be required to work in the garden in order to learn more about where food really comes from. Do you agree that helping to grow food should be required? Write a letter to the school newspaper supporting or opposing this proposal. Which claim most appropriately responds to the requirements of the prompt?
A: Mountvale High School built a garden several years ago, but within only a few seasons, students and school officials had lost interest, and the garden turned into a weedy eyesore.
B: There is no evidence to show that students who grow their own vegetables are more likely to make healthy meal choices.
C: All students should not be required to work in the garden, because the school offers many valuable activities and students should be able to choose the ones that interest them most.
D: The school should not plant a garden, because only a few students are interested in gardening and resources should be used for activities a majority of students enjoy.
C provides the most valid reasoning for students to not be forced to work in the garden. Students this year are different from students a few years prior so A can be ruled out, B doesn't really answer the question, and D seems too pessimistic.
