If your kid comes home in a red windbreaker and addresses you as 'comrade'...you might want to explore the possibility that your child was signed up for community service...
Presidential leadership has been a catalyst for new national service programs throughout history, including Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Civilian Conservation Corps, John F. Kennedy and the Peace Corps, and William J. Clinton and AmeriCorps. On the website www.change.gov, President-elect Obama has declared his intention to grow AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps. His plans include new service organizations to meet specific challenges, including a Classroom Corps to help underserved schools. He has also suggested that all college students who engage in 100 hours of community service should receive a fully-refundable tax credit of $4,000 for their education."
