I hope for your sake that the school is not typical of military schools today--or those "great results" will come at a very high price in terms of the damage that the abusive methods used in most schools today cause children.
I went to military school--but that was over 30 years ago. The schoools then taught self-discipline and taught young people to think for themselves and take responsibility. The typical military school now does not do those things. They (most of them) get superficial results by bullying and intimidating students into conformingg blindly to authority.
Your child may be lucky enough to be in one of the few good military schools left. But the odds are against it. More likely he'd be better off in a regular school. If he needs help in self-organization, there are qualified counselors (if that's needed) who actually know they are doing--and you can also find courses on time management and personal organization.
For the sake of your son's welfare, I suggest you seriously rethink what you are doing. 30 years ago, I'd have applauded your decision. Today--the odds are you have made a terrible mistake.

I agree with Helena. Military school is more of a way to keep a child in line for misbehavior. There are my solutions to keeping things organized and you should try hgtv.com. Also consider what helps your child to remember vs. getting them to do everything EXACTLY as you wish it to be. But if you've already done so by sending the child off, what was the real point of your question?

Military school is a bit harsh for a disorganized kid don't you think?The right thing and the smart thing to do is to show him a better way to get and stay organized.Maybe get some advice or help for him.ANd if all else fails,then it's time for military school.

No. Military School is such a cheap alternative when parents just cant handle kids. I feel its horrible to send a kid to military school. They come back brainwashed.

I thought it's a perfect place, by reading 1st two answer, may b its a good idea to just send him for a week or two to show him how strict they are.

it may help, but are you organized? our kids learn from us, we may have a clean house, and yet live in a disorganized manner.
it will give order to their lives, and focus the mind. it will not brainwash, only condition the mind.
if we need to program our kids, we find a place that supports it and send them there.

I would not send any of my children (if I had any) to military school.
