Character In Action is a program that creates a community of virtue where moral behaviors such as respect, honesty, and kindness they are modeled, taught, expected, celebrated, and continuously practiced in everyday interactions (taken from http://www.jefferson.k12.wi.us/do/CharacterEducation/c

I think this is a wonderful program not only because it teaches great morals, but it suprisingly changed many peoples attitudes tword each other.  I have lived with this program in my school for 3 years now, and I belive it works.  Many kids who were bullies now activly participate in community service, and the honor code really cut down on detentions. 

However dispite it's success several teens I talked to say it's "stupid" and "brain washing." 

Whatever your opinon is I greatly encourage you to look into this program for your school.  If your school already participates in this program please share your opinions/experiances.

Thanks,
