Military schools may have the distinction of being some of the most strict and rigid schools out there but there are ways to prepare kids so that they can get into one. The first way is to train them early on, this is can be done by raising the standards that the parents set for their kids, but not too much. Families with military backgrounds, those whose previous generations have been in the military, have done this. It can be compared to a process called grooming, where a person is prepared or “groomed” into someone that is suited for a particular position.

Boot camps have a bad reputation of being rough and mean to the children, they yell and shout and boss kids around like they were there slaves. Buts isn’t that what parents cannot and do not do to their kids that made them what they are in the first place, hard headed delinquents. Boot camps do not mislead parents into believing that their children are going to enjoy being there because they wont, the main reason why boot camps exist is to correct behavior much like a prison does for a convicted felon but without incarcerating them for a long time. Boot camps may not be a pretty sight but they’re so much prettier than real prisons where uncorrected kids land.

It can also lead to social and financial ruin for people who fail to stop and get some kind of help. These negative effects of drug use is mostly experienced later in life during adulthood but begins in the adolescent years when kids start experimenting with seemingly harmless drugs such as marijuana and glue. That is why step should be taken to not let kids get a hold of gateway drugs and substances such as cigarettes and alcohol.

Children with special needs shouldn’t be allowed to go to school with “normal” children because they require different things, from the form of instruction to specialized tools. This may sound a bit harsh and mean but its true and if people would succumb to society’s ideals of fairness and equality the children themselves would suffer. Putting kids with special needs in specialized programs isn’t mean or somehow a form of discrimination, it is logical and rational not to mention effective in a sense that they would get exactly what they need in order to become “better”.
