A lot that was good about post-War education was down to the military backgrounds of the practitioners: self-respect (not least in one's appearance), proper time-keeping, regular inspection and assessment, institutional loyalty, even the sense that failure is part of life and is not the end of the world.
But would sending lots of people straight out of the Forces into schools really make any difference today? Our all-volunteer Armed Forces simply presuppose obedience. Would people from that environment really be able to cope in the totally different atmosphere of so many schools?
