sending a child to military school theme
The practice of some parents in some places to send their child of to stay at a military like educational institution for an extended period of time is examined. In stories, this is often done either to imbue discipline in an unruly child, or because the parents want to rid themselves of the burden of caring for the child.
Examples
Mr. Holston visited an unusually strict military school to assess whether or not it was the right place to send his son in "Night Gallery" story "The Academy" (1971).
