Differences between Military Boarding Schools and Military High Schools

January 30, 2002 - 12:18 pm Comments Off

There are many differences with the main one being the living arrangements for the student. At a military boarding school, as the name suggests, the students board at the school. Apart from holidays and term vacations, the students are almost always in residence. Whereas in a military high school, those who join the cadets in the school do so but like all the other kids in the high school, go home to their family after school. Apart from this major difference there are many other smaller but no less significant differences.

In a military boarding school the students regard the issue of discipline with a greater degree of seriousness. They wear uniforms at all times, they have daily inspections, parades and regard staff as higher-ranking officers. In a military high school, the discipline activities only take place when the cadets are meeting which may be once a week. Uniforms are only worn when the cadets meet and the only staff in the school with a rank are those involved with the cadets.

The emphasis on academic matters is far stronger in a military boarding school. A military high school may well have an excellent academic program but it almost certainly won’t have any regular after hours compulsory study period every school day under supervision from staff. The strong aim of the military boarding school is to enable its students to gain entry to prestigious colleges and universities across the country. In a military high school, after hours study is usually paid for by the students if they are willing and able to find staff to assist.

Discipline is given more weight in a military boarding school. With the students in uniform, there are strict rules for preparing your room, attending parades and respecting officers and orders. Failure to follow the rules will mean punishment which, if repeated failures occur, can result in expulsion. The discipline in a military high school varies from school to school but minor infractions do not carry the same consequences.

Extra-curricula activities such as sports, outdoor education and the performing arts are, generally speaking, given far more emphasis in a military boarding school. The facilities are usually first class and with students living on the school campus, there is far more opportunity for training and rehearsals. Teams and ensembles don’t have the problem of missing members who have to go home. There are likely to be more field excursions in a military boarding school and more interaction with the school’s local community.

Of course the major difference of the living location is one which all students and their parents need to address. Living at home with your family and going off to school every day is greatly different from sleeping in school dormitories and walking to and from school on the same campus. Whatever else may be the difference, choosing a boarding school with a military background is a way of life which suits many but not all. It takes consultation between the teen, their parents and the school to find the best outcome.

Pride, it just leads to conflicts

January 30, 2001 - 10:32 am Comments Off

Pride, when will it not lead to conflicts. Recently there was a big varsity football game between rivals Gladstone High School and Azusa High School. Jonathan a student attending Gladstone decided to wear a Azusa High School T-shirts to school on the day of the game to represent his school since last year he had attended and played for them. One of the school’s staff decided that it was offensive to the school and gave a warning to this student. The next day he wore it again, to stand up for what he believes in, the next day the same person wrote out a Saturday school, since she believed it was offensive. The warning was issued October 22, 2009, and the Saturday school the next day October 23, 2009.

It is against the law to punish someone for what they wear, it is in the 1st Amendment of the United States under freedom of speech. They violated his first amendment, such as they did for me at Azusa High School two weeks ago. I refused to stand up for the pledge of allegiance due to spiritual beliefs and, I was punished and kicked out of the class. I returned to the school next day and talked the staff about it and i have a legit case. They have not yet complied with reversing my referral, since I did nothing wrong, but I am in the process of getting it off my record. Many people found out about this and I was well known for it. Today, a friend (Yesenia Haro) who I told my story too, informed me what had happened and asked for my help. I agreed, and decided to write this article to raise awareness so this un-constitutional punishment will not be carried out.

Jonathan, did nothing wrong. He just decided to wear his Azusa shirt on the opposite campus, and in the school policy for dress code, It states nothing about not being able to wear a different school’s shirt. There is many people who wear USC or UCLA shirts on campus. Why don’t they get punish? Is it because Azusa is the rival school? That’s just a double-standard. Not to mention that school dress codes are un-constitutional altogether. The dress code is intended to focus learning and not be distracted by any outrageous clothing. But this is not even violating the policy.

My friend who informed me about this is having a protest and getting shirts of others schools to wear them at Gladstone’s next big game, which is on Thursday. The t-shirts will be ranging from Azusa High School to Basset High School, which is located in La Puente, another big rival for the Gladiators. It is unfair for Jonathan to be punished for a crime he did not commit.
