Useful Information on Military Academies and Entering One
Military academies or military schools are institutions which accept students from elementary to high school. Some only accept boys (as traditional military academies do) and some are coeducational. Some are for day students only, and some also accept boarding students.
While military academy traditions vary a lot across schools, their common denominator is the strong military influence in their daily operations. In most of these schools, students and staff wear military-style uniforms, hold military-based ranks (lieutenant, cadets, etc.), use merit and demerit systems, and others. Students are expected to be disciplined, pick up after themselves, keep their rooms and lockers clean, and obey their teachers. There's a great emphasis on these values, and students face punishment for any incursion made on the school rules.
Military school education is also associated with excellence and structure. Students are closely monitored during study hall and their progress is followed by faculty members. At an early age, students become aware of the need to follow a structure in their daily schedule and to prioritize their tasks. They wake up early in the morning and sleep early in the evening. It's not all military activities, though. Like any other college preparatory boarding school, military boarding schools also have excellent facilities for athletics and arts. Aside from military-inspired activities (like riflery, marching band, JROTC, etc.), it's not unusual for these academies to have good sports programs and extracurricular activities that will help them enjoy a more well-rounded education.
These kinds of academies are also often mistaken for boot camps for troubled teens. The truth is that military academies often only accept young people who show great potential for achievement and leadership, who are self-starters and have a drive for excellence. There's often a long waiting list for such academies and the students who get in usually have stellar academic records as well as endorsements from community leaders. The admission process is quite stringent, consistent of exams, interviews, and writing essays. They also don't come cheap. Like many college preparatory boarding schools, a military academy education is quite expensive. Sometimes even coming up to about $40,000 per year or more.
Not all students who study in military academies plan to pursue a career in the military, though. Students who are driven, disciplined, and equipped with the finest education often go on to become leaders in different fields. The benefit of sending your child to a military academy is helping them set higher goals, expect more from themselves, and have a strong sense of responsibility and moral values. Such academies concentrate on these issues and aim to produce fine young men and women who will be responsible members of society.
For young people who have other needs, there are other types of schools that may better serve their needs. For example, there are alternative schools that have wilderness programs or therapeutic boarding schools that provides individualized counseling and therapy for students. It's important to find the right fit for your child and a place where he/she will flourish and blossom and realize his/her potential.

I Love Touring Italy - Springtime In Abruzzi
The small region of Abruzzi of central Italy lies on the Adriatic Sea. It's quite traditional and is a fine place to see the "real" Italy. In this region early spring is likely to be fairly chilly, and late spring can resemble summer. March 19 is the Festa di San Giuseppe's (Saint Joseph's Day), which is celebrated in many parts of Italy including Abruzzi. The village of Rocca Pia, home to about 200 people, holds a religious ceremony complete with a traditional meal of beans and pork rind. In the small town of Fara San Martino, population 1600, the focus is on a huge bonfire. The little village of Civitella Alfedena, population some 300, lies in the heart of the beautiful Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise that covers three regions and englobes some two dozen municipalities. On March 26 it holds an Exhibition of arts and popular traditions.
On the first Thursday in May the village of Cocullo, home to about 300, hosts a Snake Handlers' Procession in which a statue of St. Dominic, the town's patron, covered with live serpents is carried through the town. Thousands of people follow this solemn procession through the village, accompanied by a band. Some people have come for the snakes and others for the fireworks and subsequent banquet. There is even a breakfast at the foot of the hill.
The city of Pratola Peligna, population some 8 thousand, hosts The Festival of the Madonna della Libera in early May. This festival involves literally thousands of people, especially on the weekends. The streets are specially lit and brass bands play all day. Food specialties include hot porchetta and warm roasted peanuts. Major highlights include the welcoming of pilgrims who walk 42 km from the small town of Gioia de Marsi and the procession of La Madonna's statue from the church through the town's historic streets. On Saturday night there is a quite spectacular fireworks display.
The last Sunday in May the small town of Rocca di Mezzo, population 1500, holds a daffodil festival attracting thousands of people who have come to greet the spring. Saturday night the wagons are festooned with thousands of daffodils. Sunday afternoon they parade through the town. Unlike many other Abruzzi festivals this one is not rooted in time immemorial. It was started in 1947 by soldiers returning from World War.
The medieval town of Loreto Aprutino, population about 7,500, hosts the Festa di San Zopito to honor their patron saint on the Monday after Pentecost, for example on May 24, 2010. Please note, because the Easter calendar is complicated, this festival may be in summer, for example on June 12, 2011. According to tradition, in 1711 the remains of the Christian martyr Zopito were in transport from the catacombs of San Callisto in Rome. A farmer tending his fields failed to stop working and pay his respects to the passing procession. But his white ox genuflected in front of the statue of the saint and the urn. The villagers were really impressed and since then every year a white ox is trained to kneel and gets 40 days off from working in the fields. A young child dressed as an angel, holding a red carnation in his mouth and sporting a lace umbrella, sits atop the adorned ox as it wends its way through the medieval streets stopping and genuflecting at every church.

Teachers, kids in two districts shine for state education boss
Acting Commissioner of Education Christopher Cerf donned 3-D glasses to view a third-grade art project at Hillside Elementary School, sat through a SMART board demonstration on creating poems and listened to the Tenakill Middle School band perform in a visit to the Closter school district on Tuesday.
Cerf was invited to the district by Superintendent Joanne Newberry, who had heard him speak at Bergen Community College in February.
"I told him if he wanted to see excellence in education, let me know," Newberry said this week, paraphrasing the e-mail she sent to the acting commissioner.
Cerf, who was nominated in December and is awaiting confirmation, accepted the invitation. He also stopped by the Tenafly school district on Tuesday.
The visit started at Hillside Elementary School, where Cerf watched elementary students put together the school's daily newscast. He also sat through a portion of a third-grade science class on how sound travels.
He was greeted at the middle school's entrance by the Student Council president and vice president. He listened to the band perform John Philip Sousa's "Semper Fidelis" and Robert W. Smith's "Encanto" before heading off to a math class. He also visited the school's annual art exhibit across the street at the Belskie Museum.
Newberry said this is the first time that she is aware of that an education commissioner — or acting education commissioner — had visited the district.
Cerf said he was impressed by what he saw: engaged students and creative teachers.
"You guys were great. That was so impressive," he told students who produced the newscast, a daily show that on Tuesday featured two bilingual puppets teaching Spanish words for animals, a sign-language lesson and an interview with a teacher.
He questioned teachers whether they had designed their curriculum.
'"I have this view that great teachers are craftsmen and women," he said. "It's a real gift to do it. It's not rote."
He also appeared particularly interested in the Northern Valley Schools Curriculum Center.
The center, which is based in Demarest and has been in existence for more than 25 years, provides professional development for the seven Northern Valley towns that send students to the Northern Valley Regional High School and for the district's two high schools, said Robert Price, the center's director of curriculum and instruction. The center also develops the curriculum for the seven towns.
Other municipalities also send teachers to the center for professional development, Price said.
Having one director of curriculum instruction for all the schools means that the districts are able to streamline instruction at the lower schools. Students have similar experiences, and teachers across the Northern Valley share teaching strategy and technology, Price said.
Cerf said he liked the idea.
Later in the afternoon, Cerf toured Tenafly High School, one of the highest-achieving districts in North Jersey. He expressed admiration as students read him their poems, showed off a robotic Lego car steered wirelessly by a computer program and performed a string-instruments concert.
Cerf asked teachers along the way how they used technology and how they were adapting to changing curriculum standards.
When math teacher Shane Johnson displayed the power of free software called Winplot, made available by a teacher at the private Phillips Exeter Academy, Cerf asked what could be done to help teachers share their best tips more easily.
"If you set aside time for teachers to convene more formally, this sharing is bound to happen," Johnson said.
