Attention!!! Forward March!
One more stunt like that mister and you're headed for military school! Now that's a threat to send chills down the spine of the young man at whom it's directed. Years ago, military school was the ultimate punishment for the young man who could not stay out of trouble. While that may be somewhat true today, military schools have gotten a bad rap.
Military boarding schools today are used less as punishment and more as a way to give a young person a good education in a more structured environment. This is not to be confused with the boot camps for troubled teens. Yes, troubled teens can benefit from military school, but that it not the primary type of cadet.
A focus on core subjects of math, English, science, and social studies help prepare a student for the SAT exams. Other courses may be chosen to enhance a student's knowledge of his chosen field. Athletics are offered as well. Goals are for students to mentally and physically fit.
Many schools have programs starting in grade six or seven through grade twelve. The high school years are more focused on college preparation. Some cadets plan to enter the armed forces to continue their education after graduation, while others simply was the best possible preparation for the college of their choice.
There are some schools who have a five day boarding program with weekends spent at home. Most are full time with holidays spent at home. There are extra curricular activities and social opportunities that make the experience fun.
Proponents of boarding schools note that students are much more disciplined and self sufficient after attending a military school. They show a greater level of maturity and a strong moral code that serves them all of their lives. Students who plan to enter the military after graduation typically enter at a higher rank.
There are military schools for girls as well as co-ed schools. Girls are expected to complete the same curriculum as boys with a little difference in physical requirements. This is not discriminatory, but just a recognition that women's bodies are different. Women today can achieve the same rank as men in the military, and many find a military career rewarding.
In most schools, students are assigned a mentor who will be with them throughout their schooling and help them to adjust and take advantage of every opportunity offered.
Private schools are more expensive, but scholarships and finance plans make them attainable for nearly everyone.
