[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 120310, member: 3626"] I'd posted in your "I can't take it" thread about my hesitation regarding military school. However, if the facts are accurate here, I'd say military school might be a good fit. You'll know quickly enough. I'd just make sure they have a refund policy in case they decide he needs more than they can give him. Nothing like paying a hefty, upfront fee and then having the kid sent home and no refund. Happens all the time. If DSF is recommending a therapeutic boarding school, I'd seriously consider it. Don't even think they're "soft" on the kids -- they're not. Often, they're a lot tougher and expect more from the kids than any military school. They work on serious behavior modification and it can make a huge difference in teaching a child skills to cope in this world. A military school only offer discipline but not the needed behavior mod. As to the negative comment about the homelife, let it go. It is rare for those type of comments not to be in reports. You could call and ask for specifics regarding the homelife and what is recommended be changed at home. Let's face it, no one parents perfectly and there might be something to be learned. As has been said, it is rare for anyone working with teens to totally buy into everything that is said. [/QUOTE]
