yes. and, i believe the military emphasizes (demands) respect for family (whatever family one has).
they have the right+responsibility to establish BOUNDARIES of all description, to ALL involved.
parochial schools, private schools, home schools, similar. they establish BOUNDARIES.
i’m not sure how Charter Schools work.
i presume all militaries everywhere have similar ways of operating.
all my life, i’ve been sad to think that many believe the military is “the place” for “problem” young men to go, to be “straightened out”. this is the first job of parents, churches+schools should support what begins at home. [(abuse is NOT ok, and can be illegal, no matter where it occurs.) abuse is a different matter.]
before mid-60’s, i don’t believe there was so much difference in public schools (from DOD). i was in very mixed schools, race, religion, culture, social status, education of parents - ALL students were expected to “leave all that at home” and concentrate on school work.
this was how the playing field was leveled. i was on the low end of the scale socially and financially, but, expectations wrt my grades and responsibilities were the same as students with doctors, professors, etc. as parents.
i had to leave a LOT at home. i presume others did, too. i’m sure of it.
i think that’s what the military does. personal accountability.
it’s what Jesus does. amazingly well.
