[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 754147, member: 23706"] Military schools toss out behavior problems. My husband was in the military. That's how he rose out of poverty and paid for college. Many kids joined the military because family pushed them to do it, thinking that the military would straighten them out. It usually doesn't work that way. They tend to get into trouble in the military too, and there are plenty of drugs and drinking and partying in the military too. If people do not listen to authority, they aren't going to succeed in an environment where you are basically told you had better conform. Where you put up with being screamed at, bossed around or discharged. Disordered kids get thrown out of the military a lot, often worse for wear. And it's the same with military school. They are not a school that is there to straighten out difficult kids. They really don't want them. I never think it's a good idea to send a struggling kid, older or younger, into a place associated with the military. Not until they are in good shape. It in my opinion will make them more defiant and/or mentally ill. in my opinion a terrible solution. Yet I see it mentioned here a lot as a good idea. From what I know of the Military, I can't see most of our kids succeeding there. Jmo and.blesdings to all. [/QUOTE]
