Encouraging Inclusion

Other students in schools are offered credits and honours for helping in the community– volunteering with seniors and in hospitals etc. Why is this happening when the resource of our kids is right there on site. The students should be getting credits and honours for helping disabled students into the school community. There should be a plan in place to help them do that well and initiatives to encourage them to include a disabled student when a group of them go to the movies or hang out. This would be a good citizenship training program. The schools would be turning out citizens who are compassionate and pro-active who will care about the outsiders in their adult communitie.
