When I was a kid I used to joke about school being a prison.

This was back when doors weren't locked during the day and when a friend of mine took a joke hand grenade to school it was confiscated and he was told to pick it up at the end of the day and don't do that again.

Schools have been asymptotically approaching prisons to the point where they will be indistinguishable in the near future.

Agreed. Fuck this shit.

My kids' school is surrounded by a giant chain link fence.

Solve societal.problems leading to higher levels of violence? Nah, let's just lock the kids up during the day - it's for their own protection.

Something is very fucking wrong with people who want to solve our problems this way. Don't let them pretend this is normal or how this shit should he handled. What the fuck are we doing?

My school was the same thing as a prison since it was sped ed back in 2005, public schools had it lucky.
