<p>I feel we need community service requirements to break the vicious cycle of greed and self-absorption that otherwise passes from generation to generation. </p>
<p>Some students are raised in families and whole neighborhoods, never meeting another adult who gives a care about any other human being outside their immediate family.</p>
<p>Can we really blame them when they become adults and pass along these entitled and selfish attitudes to their own progeny? </p>
<p>The ONLY way to unhook these leeches, and the multi-generational cycle of self-absorption they engender, is to steal away their children during a few post-school hours to expose them to a different way of life. Perhaps a few will meet inspiring mentors who will model how to feel enriched, not impoverished, by donating time to others. </p>
