Item: Senate to tackle boot camp bill: Military style school would be available to dropouts, at-risk teens/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: "It's about getting dropouts back into school and getting high school diplomas for them," said Sen. John Goedde, the Coeur d'Alene Republican proposing legislation that would bring the military-style school to Idaho. "There's no question we have that issue here, maybe not as bad as other states, but it's still an issue." The bill is expected to hit the Senate next week, Goedde said, then go to the House. If it passes, a boot-camp-style program would give dropouts a roughly 14-week crash-course in physical activity, discipline and studying as they earn their degrees, Goedde said.

Question: What do you think of a boot camp for Idaho dropouts?
