It's free! Save it. For most of the last century, children who have been removed from their families have been placed in foster care. Today, there are about 600,000 such children, and the system is beset by problemsa shortage of competent staff, children who spend much of their youth bouncing around from one family to another, and poor outcomes (high rates of teen pregnancy, for instance). And the system is overburdened. Caseloads have doubled over the last 20 years (largely as a result of the crack epidemic), while the number of foster families has declined. Faced with these challenges, some reformers propose making greater use of boarding schools. Such institutions exist across the nationlike Boys Town in Nebraska, Philadelphia's Girard College, and the Piney Woods School in Mississippiand many have good track records in preparing disadvantaged children for college and future careers. But the social services people want no part of that, as Newt Gingrich discovered in 1994 when he spoke out on the subject. Society's sole objective should be to unite children with their families, they argue.

Extractions: Contact us today to get help for struggling teens With the quality of most public schools dwindling as a result of increased enrollment and decreased funding, many parents seek alternative schools to educate their children. Effective alternatives include private schools whose focus is a military style of discipline and education. Military schools provide cadets with the traditional college prep curriculum found in public schools, but the quality of teaching often exceeds that found in public school. Since most military schools are also a boarding school, many times the teachers are fully dedicated to the students and can offer extra academic assistance. In addition to a quality education, cadets can expect to have organized daily study time to ensure they complete their assignments and keep from falling behind.

Extractions: Contact us today to get help for struggling teens There are signs that the military ethos can accomplish things not easily achieved otherwise. Military curricula are even taking hold in some public schools. In Detroit, the Charles Rogers Academy, named for a black army general, offers much the same program as a military prep school. Students of each year have different ranks, discipline is tight, and standards are high. About half the seniors attend collegean extremely impressive rate for an inner-city school. By shifting their focus from training future soldiers to preparing civic leaders, military boarding schools have made a comeback although their ranks have thinned since WWII. Of course, military boarding schools can seem more like another planet to the average teen. At Massanutten, a military boarding school, reveille is at 6 o'clock every weekday morning. Cadets are required to attend formation 45 minutes later dressed in full uniform, complete with polished boots.

Extractions: Center for the Fourth and Fifth Rs : Abstract 3 Home Resource Links Character Education A Districtwide Approach . In 1988 Dr. James Finch, then superintendent of Sweet Home Schools in Amherst, New York, wrote a letter to all district staff asking three questions: "Are you concerned about the values and attitudes of our students? Should the school be doing something about this? If so, would you like to be involved?" How To Motivate Your Teenager Seventy-five persons wrote replies. Dr. Finch set up a 19-member District Values Education Council, chaired by Middle School teacher Sharon Banas and representing teachers, parents, administrators, paraprofessionals, classified personnel, students, and the School Board. The District Council then charged each building with the task of identifying its top values concerns and coming up with strategies for addressing them. The building character education committees have continued the approach of getting everyone involved. Building committees have included administrators, teachers, librarians, nurses, secretaries, custodians, guidance counselors, parents, and students. Once a month, representatives from each building meet to report activities they have successfully implemented in their schools. A monthly Values Education Newsletter describing these activities goes to all staff and parents.
