In the Service of What? The Politics of Service Learning
By: Joseph Kahne and Joel Westheimer
Joseph Kahne and Joel Westheimer argue that service learning should be in our schools today. They believe that service learning can be a great experience if it is done in the right way. if goals are set and we reflect on how SL should be and how it would help our community, it would make the experience more helpful and fulfilling.
"He argued for the creation of ‘miniature communities' in which students would work together to identify and respond to problems they confronted"
I think this quote explains a lot. I feel like Hahne and Westheimer have the right idea by saying that we all need to work together. If we all work together to identify the problems in the community, then we would have to do it all alone. I think that we are all confronted with many problems in our lives and if we just work together to get through them then it would make it easier on all of us.
“Maybe this community service is what citizenship is about, acting in a decent way toward people who live where we live”
I think that community service is a great way to help out everyone around us. Its a good way to get involved and to respect the world we live in. Community service a sign of maturity and strength. It shows that we care, and we are willing to help others around us. I feel like this quote meant a lot because its so true. We should all be helping others in any way that we can.
"Service learning makes students active participants in service projects that aim to respond to the needs of the community while furthering the academic goals of students."
I would agree with this quote because it states a good point. Service Learning teaches students how to help out in the community. It is helping the community and also teaching the students what it means to help out. Its a good way for the students to learn how to set goals. Its a good way to teach responsibility.

I agree when you said that "we need to work together." At times, it feels communities, such as schools, tend to focus on the negative problems rather than seeking a positive solution that includes insight from everyone. Nice post!
Do you think charity is more important or is implementing serious change more important?
