Number Five

In The Service Of What?

By Joseph Kahne

1. "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

• Its better to do things for other people.  You feel good after you do something for someone else.  It is better to put others first before yourself.

1. "The hope was that students' values and beliefs might Be transformed by these experiences."

• By having children do service for others, it will make them known of what people go through.  Having students do service with others.  Also teaches the kids to be grateful for what they have as well.

1. "Rather then assume erroneously, that all educators share the same vision, we think it is better to be explicit about the numerous and different visions that drive the creation and implementation of service learning activities in school."

• Every teacher has a different style of teaching.  Some teachers teach straight by the rules some don't.  It helps to have service learning activities can be about what the teacher is teaching and help the child understand." 

This article was an easy read for me.  I liked how they mentioned the famous quote from president Kennedy .
