In Switzerland they require all youth to enroll in the military. I think this a good idea to 1. Protect the country and 2. Build strong youth into strong citizens.
But why does it have to be military service? Why can’t it be a choice? Youth can choose between 1. military training and service 2. Civil service in charity or community service or 3. To be a creative or problem solver to help solve the problems of the community.
Change the education system to not be memorization and test taking. But in life skills, learning how to learn, use your mind, problem solve, work in teamwork and community… Survival and living vs being programed and controlled.
In order to graduate to have to 1. have chosen a trade or course of continuous study, 2. have to have logged a certain number of community hours (choices above), and 3. completed a certain level of community and career project.
