> The question is: what do you do about children with discipline problems whose parents don't care?

This is relevant point to the military thing. If you screw up at school, your military parents will be called -- and it may impact them directly. As in, Sgt. X, your kid keeps picking fights, and we're going to punish them, and you, for it.

Which means the parents care -- a lot.
