My only direct experience with someone who went to one of these schools was in 5th grade, when a serious problem student (bully, out of control temper, fought with everybody incl. teachers) was sent to military school for a year.
He came back to 6th grade into my class. Very polite, friendly, seemingly in control. For awhile anyway. All it took was a little provocation, as I recall somebody cut in front of him in a line about a month into school, and he lost it and was wrestling on the floor again.
Then he was out again and I never saw him again.
