School/Prison similarities.

[SuperiorDiplomat]

I find it quite disturbing that for me everyday school and prison or jails are looking more and more alike.
Most of us know that security in our schools is bettering more and more.
1. Camera's
2. Cops in the hallways.
3. Police dogs
3. Routine drug tests.
4. Drug searches (under suspicious belief)..if they want to they will.
5. Mentally have the same effect as prisons.
6. Another thread- school walkouts are illegal..
7. They steal youths rights.
I think that it is crazy how unbelievably much money schools spend on making us more "Safe"?

[Ceiling Cat]

Schools are spending money on making them safe.
Who said anything about us?

Good point.

[Ceiling Cat]

It's the safety of the system to be intact and productive, not personal safety of those that are viewed as potential enemies.

[SuperiorDiplomat]

Adding on the school's are always right and there is defiantly a "blame children or teens" mentality.
So yes we are all viewed as potential enemies how wrong.

[Ceiling Cat]

It's not wrong. The majority is always right, even if they're wrong.

[SuperiorDiplomat]

So your saying once our generation moves in we can change?

[Amortisatie]

No, as soon as the majority of humans gain an iq above a giraffes, then we might see some progress

My school actually likes like a prison from the outside. Bars on the window and everything.

[Ceiling Cat]

MY basic school had razor wire on the fences. And bars on windows are pretty much anywhere here, so kids won't run when someone's calling the pigs or pillstuffers.

Our school dont have police dogs / random drug screening. though there has been an increase in the amount of police around the place.

I'm quite all right now, but the middle school was horror. They sealed all doors except two, of which the front was for staff only(so the school would always seem peaceful, regardless of backyard shitstorm). All of the doors were locked and guarded, and we were let out only on the beginning/end of the day. The staff found so many reasons to deny us an outside break that only time we've actually seen some sky was at a hot september/june day.

The security at my primary school was better than at my school now. They had cameras everywhere, and the doors could only be opened by one teacher and a headteacher, from the inside by inputting a code onto a keypad. It drove me insane.

You'd best be being sarcastic.

[Syrae-Yuri-Hyuga]

we've got cameras and over 8 officers here.


But I could care less if I wanna leave, I'm leaving.

My school's relatively small, so we don't have cameras/ huge loads of police officers/ drug screenings. The doors aren't locked from the inside and we don't have police dogs. We do, however, have a fuckload of kids (our school was built for 300 kids not 900 :rolleyes so the rules are VERY strict. Seriously, you can get a refferal FOR READING and you can get suspended if you say a really mild swear word like hell or damn, which in my mind really aren't swear words. We also have a campus guard and a police officer, but we barely see the police officer. Our vice principal is HUGE bastard and just abot punishes us about everything, like saying "Oh my god" or not going outside (walking on the stupid track in the freezing cold for 5 minutes. Fun) even though we're not finished eating.

All the doors? Even the washrooms?

It's like a movie BANK.

[Slightlygeeky]

My school's "Security System" is a pathetic joke. While we have cameras around every corner, they are in positions where we can move them to our liking. If something is about to go down, someone just reaches up and turns the camera towards the ceiling the always get reset the next morning, but they can never use them to prove anything because it's illegal for the cameras to record audio.

Both schools and prisons manipulate social conditioning to their advantage.

[The man]

The scariest part is that NO ONE NOTICES.

[Depression101]

I'd rather go to prison than be submitted to the scared straight program, for fucks sake.

[James Comey]

Prison is its own house of horrors.
