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.

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.

What the Anna Hazare movement says about our patriotism
Time was when not everyone could get to brandish the national flag. Today, anyone can. On select occasions, like Independence Day, they erupt all over the place like multicolored mushrooms. And at Ramlila Maidan last week, everyone was armed with a flag. Or so it appeared on TV. Not a good sign.
Why would you need the national flag for an anti-corruption campaign? Is corruption an external enemy, against whom the Indian state is waging war? One answer trotted out is that flag-waving is an expression of one's pride in being Indian. But what does it mean to be Indian? When there is no war going on, and no external coloniser (like the British were), where are we going with this overflow of patriotism?
Patriotism of the kind that drives you to follow a messiah or to die for a cause is a tool meant to fortify a person against her own humanity. So that she can better serve a larger, non-human, entity — such as a country. In fact, whenever you're told you're serving the country, rest assured you're only serving the interests of those who control the country, which is always an elite, unrepresentative minority. (If you want to know how ‘representative' our democracy is, compare the percentage of our MPs who are crorepatis with the percentage of our electorate who are crorepatis.)
Patriotism deflects the anger of the deprived toward an external enemy. For example, the US defence budget, which should have shrunk after the end of the Cold War, actually shot up. The rationale given for the increase? War against Terror. Given the increasing — and increasingly untenable — disparity between rich and poor, states that abandon their welfare role were in danger of losing their moral authority to govern. They hence need terrorism to justify their existence.The aforesaid ‘development' being best piloted by an elite band of technocratic, entrepreneurial Indians who have a monopoly on merit, efficiency, and expertise and are thereby the privileged custodians of the answer to the question, "What is good for the country?'
It is this technocratic class that is driving the Lokpal bill movement. They tapped into the legitimate anger felt by a people fed up with the oppressive power wielded by a corrupt state and an unresponsive polity. Anna was merely the poster boy, acting on instructions, and content to do so. And their destination is not so much an equitable society, but a future where there won't be messy potholes of democracy on the country's highways of commerce, and no political bottlenecks will slow down the swift transfer of public/communal resources into the clean hands of private capital.
This technocratic authoritarianism — proposed as an antidote to a corrupted democratic process that has failed to deliver — is a classic case of the cure being worse than the disease. Yes, corruption is bad. And we all want change. But not all change is necessarily for the better. When it involves a lot of flag-waving, it is usually for the worse. It's not for nothing that Samuel Johnson called patriotism "the last refuge of a scoundrel."
