Vote for Prop. V and JROTC in city schools

Joanne Jacobs: "JROTC builds self-discipline, teamwork, motivation, and confidence, according to a 1999 study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies based in Washington, D.C.. JROTC participants earn higher grades than their classmates and get in less trouble. Of course, that can be true of other activities. Many teens are searching for something that will claim their allegiance. They may seem like slackers but they crave order, structure, purpose, pride, and camaraderie. Athletes find it playing on a sports team. Musicians find it marching in the band. Creative types find it staging the school play. Some in-betweeners find it in JROTC. Others find it in a gang. If San Francisco loses JROTC, it will lose students."
