More rules never works. What we need is for the Ivy's and others to highly incentivize a "Year of Service" similar to Israel. We don't need everyone in the Military, but we do need a re-alignment of values. In hindsight, I wish I had done Jesuit Volunteer Corps back in the day at Boston College.

We have some great interns from Pace University (NY) that come to visit us at our not-for-profit, and they ALWAYS respond when they have real work to do. They want to take care of our Special Needs Hikers on our Friday hikes, and on the ground training works!
I have heard of some folks trying to move forward similar programs. I believe the idea was to put in place a national gap year in which high school graduates would give one year of service either via the military or through a beefed up AmeriCorps program. We have some of what you are talking about in place, and I think it could do a lot of good for rising college students.
I’d like to hear from Academics working in other countries. Is the problem just within US schools, corrupted by their transactional nature? The pressure to succeed in Japan is intense, but is cheating rampant? What about the UK? Europe? India?
