    School is a prison and pretending that it’s a bridge to the real world is not only naive it is counterproductive.

    The reason there are uniforms in prison is because there are some dangerous mofos with poor control in there. Kinda like in school. The uniforms decrease the energy level of the place.

    Not sure why we’d put the responsibility of learning self control on children while adults are treated as the creatures of limited self control they are.

    A homeless man’s a product of his environment but a fourteen year old boy who can’t concentrate on calculus because titties are bouncing in his face all day is responsible for suppressing his own sexuality in service to the mission. Is that about right?

    Adults are children and children are adults? Is that pretty much the rubric here?

      Should be called intensely_inhumane 🤣

      School shouldn’t be like prison and neither should prison tbh.

      Prison is designed as a punishment, its pretty problematic to want children to go through a similar system in their formative years, nevermimd that there is so much evidence that prison doesn’t even work and just causes worse outcomes.

      Treat someone like a criminal they will act like a criminal.
