My husband and I just had this discussion at dinner. We think it's not a horrible idea to require that all igh school graduates be made to give at least 1 year to either the military or a faith based or community based service organization. There they would mature by learning how to use their skills to help others, be provided with a moral compass, be given an opportunity to learn a trade if they so desire, and have a sense of belonging to something with meaning.
It can't hurt and may help with the prevailing attitudes we all see in today's world.
