The school that joined the army

The school that joined the army. I’ve read the article “the school that joined the army” it really made a big impression on me that there was so many gang warfare that the school was almost closed for it. I decided to investigate if there were such schools in the Netherlands. But first something about the school in Chicago. Chicago’s South Side is generally seen as one of the USA’s most violent areas. For example Carver military academy, a high school which was so ridden with gang warfare four years ago that it faced closure. In a desperate experiment, the school turned to the army for help in controlling its students. The students have to do early morning military drills. And have to wear military uniforms. The army did great work for the school the students are more disciplined and happier. They like it to go to school now for the lessons and not only for a warm shelter and a meal. On the internet I found an article on the Glen Mills School. The aim of the school is to change the behaviour of criminal boys. The school is organised after American Model. The boys are treated with respect and good behaviour gives privileges. The school has been a news item this week because of the film “Cool” by Theo van Gogh, the filmmaker that was recently murdered. In the film the rolls were played by boys who were actually in Glen Mills School because they had committed a crime.
