[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 428086"] I still say the Marine Corps is onto something. They "cure" a ton of seemingly intractable difficult children every year via the old tried-and-true methods: very high expectations. Very low tolerance for misconduct. Very sharp and very quick consequences for misconduct, with absolutely zero allowances for excuses, explanations, etc. Outright defiance and attempts to "get out" are met with the brutal consequence of putting the trainee into another training unit that's on Day 1 of basic--i.e., hell starts over at day 1. Kids change. difficult children change. Everybody changes. It's a massive tough love experience, and it changes lives. And it puts to shame a lot of the soft child-raising theories and hand-wringing that you see these days wrt tough/bad kids. [/QUOTE]
