Citizenship Returns & the Returns are TOV!

In this week's Parade Magazine there was an article called, "Operation Good Citizen: How we're teaching kids to do the right thing.”  When I was in elementary school, there was a class on citizenship. It disappeared from the curriculum for decades and is now it’s returning in the 2015 version. A fitting definition from Webster's is, "The quality of an individual's response to membership in a community." A number of schools saw a drop in violence, vandalism, weapons and substance abuse. Fights were down 84% as well as harassment and bullying. Attendance, grades and SATs were all up. Read Rabbi Leynor’s complete blog at -- http://tovcenter.blogspot.com/2015/08/citizenship-returns-returns-are-tov.html
