I sent my son to the Marine Academy in Harlingen, Texas for this very same reason (93, 94, 95).
It is run by retired marines IN UNIFORM.
I always was on the side of the administration in letter wars with meddlesome parents trying to force the Marines to go easy on their little boys!
Walk down the halls of a classroom bldg and you can hear a pen drop, literally! There is never an unruly class. Kids are sitting up paying attention and learning! Top teachers teach there. Some with PHD’s!
Is very expensive today though. Was about 15k per year on average back then.
It’s a crime this kind of education is not available to the kids u speak of who want to learn!
It's a worse crime that the kids who want to learn dare not let it be known, lest they be beaten or worse for "acting white".
