Here is everything you ever wanted to know about community service.
Ronald W. Poplau explores the major shortcomings of today's
education and introduces community service as a viable means to
correct them. The book is based on 11 years of a program that the
State of Kansas enacted into law. The U.S. State Department later
sent Poplau to Russia to share this program with Russian schools,
and at any one time, one-fourth of the author's school, Shawnee
Mission Northwest High School, is enrolled in the program. There is
a waiting list to get in the class, and this book can show you how
to create the same phenomenon in your school. This book: examines
how community service affects a student's person, explores why
community service is needed now in all of our schools, documents
with student testimonials how service not only changes them but
also the community. Poplau contends that while technology is
isolating all of us, and especially young students, it cannot be
forgotten that human beings were meant to bond with one another.
Students need to become involved with their fellow man, and with
this in mind, the mission statement and title of the book is a
simple one: The Doer of Good Becomes Good. For teachers and student
activity directors.
