Subject: Service is the Rent You Pay ...
From an article titled,
Service Day at the Meridian School, we learn how
children in Kindergarten through 5th Grade are indoctrinated into the
idea that service to the community is a duty. Here are some excerpts:
[...] "Service is the rent you pay for living on earth, and it starts in elementary school," according to Ron Waldman, the Head of Meridian School. "By the time they leave 5th grade, we want our kids to feel that this is part of the fabric of who they are. It's not whether I should or shouldn't serve the community, but how. That's just what we do." [Emphasis added] |
