Quotes 

1. A trans formative  educational experience, on the other hand. requires that students engage in critical thinking in the "strong" rather than  "weak"sense. To be critical thinkers, students must be able to  consider arguments that justify conclusions that conflict with their own predispositions and self-interest. 

In this quote, both authors go on & explain how an educational experience can help benefit their education and give them a stronger sense when it comes to their arguments they are able to justify conclusions easier and even find out their own interests. 

2. Efforts to  integrate service learning activities into the curriculum have great potential and deserve the  support they are now receiving. To date however,  little attention has been given to sorting out the goals and motivations that underlie the spectrum of service learning projects emerging in schools throughout the country. Is it beneficial to point out such differences and risk creating some opposition to service learning? 

Here, we see how service learning is beneficial for the students in communities. But I like how it is said where there is no effort given for goals and motivations which is a good point because with service learning there should be something that comes out of this because the children can gain something through these projects. 

3. Rather than  assume, erroneously, that all educators share the same vision, we think it is better to be explicit  about the numerous and different visions that  drive the  creation and  implementation of service learning activities in schools. 

This last quotes shows the side of how educators feel and how educators all share the same vision, which is true. Every teacher always wants to achieve his or her best. It is true that through the numerous of different visions show how creation is driven and how service learning is inspiring for the students.
