Summary Of The JROTC Program

Have you ever wondered how many JROTC cadets graduate from their respective high schools compared to regular students? It is estimated that around 93% of cadets, 10% more than regular students in high school. How exactly is this possible? Well, JROTC is a academically based program designed to not only help the student become a better person, but also help them become better with their academics. The most famous study of how this was implemented was in a study made by the Department of Defense, who was cooperating with the U.S. Department of Education to study the effects of the program on quote "dropout-prone" students in nine different schools and how they could not only improve these students, but also the program itself. The program helped

The results showed that no real difference between the three parties were shown, but looking through the paper, it can be inferred that the study showed a 2% overall of JROTC cadets on the workkeys test higher than the other two studied groups. This 2% can show a huge a margin in the studying factors involved in the JROTC program. Not to mention the 5% difference in the leadership study, which is also a contributing factor to good study habits. In one last research paper written by Kenneth Leithwood, Karen Seashore Louis, Stephen Anderson and Kyla Wahlstrom, it stated that effective leadership methods such as democratic leadership can go a long way to long term learning with a student. In all of this, there has been sufficient evidence that JROTC helps the academically gifted and academically impaired alike in succeeding in not only academics, but also after graduation success. This shows that JROTC can help improve students who are required to take the class who are not especially gifted in some categories of learning, and that is wraps up the discussion of JROTC and

JROTC has a requirement of this sort of thing for all cadets to finish. It goes up as they go up in LET (Leader Education and Training) level. The exact numbers are 10 hours for LET 1-2, 20 hours for LET 3-4, 30 hours for LET 5-6, and 40 hours for LET 7-8. In the case of a cadet, they are highly encouraged to take part in major events like; Helping at a children's hospital, collect money for charity, roadside clean-ups or adopt-a-highway program, etc. A good example of what JROTC does for community service would be in a high school JROTC program up in Trenton who helped volunteer at a local elementary school, being more of a role model to the younger generations, and stated by a educator who requests to remain anonymous, "I was proud that the cadets are so highly motivated and that the kids really enjoyed the experience. It was good for my students to have young adults as positive role models". This can also be referred back to a major event that is coming up in St. Paul's very soon, known as the John Walker fund, which is used to help families get by for the winter. It is estimated by the St. Paul's high school JROTC program that the students bring in about 1000 hours a year, which would emphasize the requirement to make this into a mandatory class. In a article used before known as "3 Things To Know About High School JROTC Program", it would also be inferred that community
