Your experience is a military school many years ago should not serve as a model for my children attending public school in 2017. Public schools educate children with different abilities from varied backgrounds, while military schools serve a self-selecting population.
While your no-frills military school served you well, not everyone attending a military school flourished. My husband's brother struggled in a military school and eventually flunked out of college. Today, we suspect he had a learning disability that went undiagnosed and untreated thanks to the "one size fits all" military school. The "good old days" were not always good and I resent your comparison.
Your military school was funded by tax dollars from individuals who also paid taxes to support public schools. It seems to me you benefitted from generous taxpayers for your education.
