Line 10:
Sometimes includes an element of [[Ho Yay]], due to the fact that military schools in fiction and reality tend to either be all-male or mostly male.
{{examples
== Anime ==
Line 49:
* ''[[The Sopranos]]'' episode "Army of One". Tony Soprano and his wife Carmela disagree over whether to send their son A.J. to a [[Military School]].
* ''[[Dead Like Me]].'' - A military school features as the site of a reap. Inverted in that the soon-to-be-dead cadet loves the school and constantly pushes herself to excel. {{spoiler|She dies on the obstacle course, where a safety rope breaks just as she makes it to the top of the tower climb.}}
* Arthur Carlson from ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' had a son going to one of these, 'Prussian Valley'. He learns that his son's flunking out, but lets him hold onto his [[The "B" Grade]] excuse for leaving, and enrolls him in public school.
* Another more positive portrayal is in the ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' episode "Goodbye To All That".
* A [[Chekhov's Gun]] in the ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]'' novel ''The Last Straw'' -- a rather annoying [[Delinquent]] is sent to one of these after his parents get fed up with him early in the book, as shown by a chapter. {{spoiler|It works, as we see him in his summer job as a movie usher, and by the looks of things, he's pretty much the platonic ideal of a good cadet. This is what causes Frank to seriously consider sending [[The Narrator|his son]] to it as a way of ridding his status as [[The Chew Toy]]. Greg is not amused.}}
