Small, Yet Revealing Point

About America losing her way.

In schools these days, there is a big component on teaching “service”. Kids go and hand out soup at soup kitchens to the homeless. They work with little kids, developmentally disabled kids, disabled kids, paint fences and clean up playgrounds. Many people think that they are teaching the kids a valuable lesson. I think it’s bull.

All those things are nice. But what we really ought to be doing is teaching our kids entrepreneurship. We ought to be encouraging them to run little businesses. They have great ideas, and from some of them real businesses could spring. One organization dedicated to making that happen is Lemonade Day.

It’s a step in the right direction.
