Why have schools become prisons?


My high school, in the United States, has:
1. Full time and armed police officer on duty.
2. Security guard that lives on school grounds.
3. Barbed wire fencing surrounding the campus and the bleachers.
4. Black security camera orbs in every hall way, the cafeteria, the parking lot, and every bus.
5. Everyone is assigned a Student ID Number and given an identity card.
6. Specific dress code. No hats.
7. Mandatory attendance. If you miss a day, a computer will telephone your house and leave a recording if you don't answer.
8. No PDAs: Public Display of Affection. No hugs or holding hands.
9. A building, over fifty years old, now at 200% capacity.
10. Lunch break is twenty minutes, and students spend half standing in line. Students aren't allowed to leave. Chicken every day.
11. Students are herded from class to class, following their schedule, by a bell system.
12. School starts at 7am. Everyone is a sleep deprived zombie and half are on prozac.

How'd it get so bad?

Well, number 12 is your own faults...my son is 13, & despite what I say, he stays up later than I want him to.
But, he isn't on prozac.
Other than that, teens have been known to have little self dicipline. SO, part of that above is for you..(again, citing my 13 year old) But, part of it is too keep unwanted people out of the school, & maybe even protect you from yourselves!

During my reunion, we went back to school for a tour. One of my favorite teachers, 30 years older now, was beaten by a student, because he asked him for a hall pass!
The guy was out a week & would be out longer recovering. The majority of teens should be in cages! (again, citing my 13 year old!)

Because kids have become criminals.

they wanna discipline the students, like, "IF YOU DONT TURN IN YOUR ASSIGNMENT ILL BEAT JO AZZ!!!"

cause of all the dirtbags that go to highschool

We let egghead's with PhD's run things. They think that all kids regardless of how disruptive should be in school. Also, the courts have forced schools to mix special needs kids with regular kids and causing the quality of education to suffer for all. When bored kids screw up.

Because of school shootings and violence.
Because of overcrowding, because of parent's schedules, so kids are left at home less.
To protect and influence the children of the future.

It was caused by integration, mixing the bad with the good.

Before you judge me, remember this.

"The cry of racism is to often a blanket thrown to cover reality."

Because parents stopped paying attention to their kids and it's pretty much just a free for all these days. Back when people raised their kids right, this stuff didn't happen. So if you want your kids to live to see 20, raise them to be good people. Raise them to follow the rules, treat other people well and respect authority! If everyone would take the time to do that, the world would be a better place.

i don't know. It's like that at my MIDDLE SCHOOL too. It's not that bad, but it's pretty close. They act like we're on death roll. Oh, and the teachers. geez.

It sounds pretty much like any company you will work for once you graduate. Consider it job training.

ugh, you are so oppressed

You bring up some excellent points! Schools have become prisons out of necessity. When the front door of the school slams shut each morning, societies ills are not locked out. Events such as school shootings have forced schools to take the offensive. Lack of funding and leadership have taken their toll on today's schools. Our system is broke, high schools are especially archaic and don't meet the needs of today's societies. As much as I hate to admit it we need to privatize schools, so money becomes at the very least, adequate.

Does Columbine ring any bells? Most all the rules you've mentioned are because your peers don't know how to control themselves.

Just like everything else in life, the good get punished right along with the bad. It's unfortunate but that's the way society has become.

I didn't fund terrorists, or fly an airplane into the Twin Towers but that event has changed the way you do so many things, from airport security to banking. The good get punished with the bad...it's just that simple.

Schools became prisons when kids became bandits. At least these ones I can somewhat interpret:

1. Keeps kids from shooting up their schools.[particularly at bad schools]
2. Keeps kids from killing their teachers and peers.[same as top, bad schools]
3. Keeps kids from skipping school
4. If a crime is committed we know who did it.
5. If something happens to you, we know who you are and who to contact. [Became a rule when something like this happend]
7. If a kid skips, the parents will know.

All the other ones are pointless and stupid. PDA? SO WHAT?! 12, i know we need kids to 'get used to the real world' but why now? kids need sleep and now its impossible to get it.

Im a student and it sucks. But then again, I HAVE been kept from breaking some rules because of these precautions. So I guess some work.

You have some good responses here but unfortunately the real reasons are not politically correct and therefore will not be posted.

If you take a look around with your eyes wide open, you will understand why.

That is a complex question--and my answer is entirely non-partisan (for once!)--I say that because the phrasing will sound anti-conservative. But BOTH liberals and conservatives are equally guilty (also, this is my estimate as a sociologist with a lot of researchon education issues):

>We have created a "culture of risk" in America--or, more correcctly, risk avoidence"--180 degrees opposite what America used to be.
>corporations make a lot of money capitalizing on parental fears to sell these systems to schools
>the more we've allowed a climate of fear--whether of terrorists, sexual predators, etc--to dominate our thinking, the more we see danger at every turn
>for school systems/administrators, security serves as a mantra--it shows they are "doing something," that they are "keeping kids safe"--and it avoids liability
>the security fetis conceals the declining quality of edcuation
>teachers no longer work with students--instead its a matter of social control (surveillance) not mentoring (supervision).
Some conseqences:
Our children are being socialized into accepting a "1984" style world--with the state ceded all rights to privacy and allowed to monitor the smallest and most intimate details of personal life. That is NOT a "conspiracy teory"--simply an observation that our young people are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the kind of demagogues and power seekers who seek absolute power.

The other consequences:
a) the system conceals abuse by teachers, etc. Estimates currently indivate that20% of children are sexually abused by teachers by the time they leave school. NOTE: this is encouraged by bureaucratic surveillance, not reduced. A surveillance system can be beaten easily by anyone who knows the set up. Supervision that depends on human interaction and students and teachers knowing each other is MUCH harder to subvert--because someone will notice something--and ACT.

Last consequence: if this situation is not reversed, you can forget America remaining a world leater. Taht depends on innovation and independant thing, as well as high-quality education. Initiative, independance of thought, and excellance have been engineered out of our schools--largely in the name of "security." Without that, future generations of Americans will not be able to compet in our globalized economy.

All this from an admitted overdone system of school security? No--but the mindset it represents--the underlying social and educational forces of which the security fetish is only a symptom--very definately yes.

Start with the man in the mirror.

I realize it's "cool" to be a victim...but you're simply not. You and your buddies threaten the teachers. You and your buddies wear the disgusting clothing. You want a brand new building? YOU and your buddies pay the taxes to build it. I don't have kids and I have to pay for it.

Don't tell me about fair. When you get a job...or should I say, IF you can get your GED and even get a job, and start paying for stuff caused by criminals, we'll have this conversation again.

If you don't like it , quit. Better yet, try a school in Japan. You'll wear a uniform, days will be longer, and oh by the way, you go SIX days a week.

The reason it is like that is there is too much violence. Plus they wont have to worry about guns and other stuff and someone coming in that doesnt belong there. I hated to go to school when I went to high school because of the bomb threats I didnt feel safe at school. School is not a place to have fun hug and kiss and stuff it is too learn. At least you dont have to worry too much about getting shot or someone bringin a gun to school. I went to school when colombine happened and after that happened we were getting bomb threats like every day pretty much. so all that survalance in schools is a good thing.

We've had too many crazies attacking in the schools, either from the inside or the outside. Parents are panicked that their kids will get hurt or worse, based on what we're all seeing in the papers. By taking the first 5 precautions, they get a feeling of security that their kids won't die for an education.

Dress codes are becoming fashionable for 2 reasons. First, when everybody's wearing the same thing, kids may not get beaten up and have their fancy clothes stolen. And it keeps the areas covered that should be covered.

It's the responsibility of the parent to be sure their kids are there, and it's illegal for kids not to attend some type of school, even if it's homeschooling. The school has to have some way of letting the parents know if something's up.

I think they're carrying PDA's too far, personally, but it started out as a way to keep kids from pushing each other around, or prevent "unwanted" or "inappropriate" touching. If a kid wanted to be left alone, this was supposed to let him.

Letting the building be so overcrowded is just irresponsible. Most likely, your state has a small budget for education, and it's not building schools out of it, even though it's been shown that kids learn better in smaller classes.

The lunch break is probably so short because there are so many kids--the cafeteria is maxed out in size, so they can't fit all the kids in at once--it's a factor of the building being so overcrowded. I've not heard of a single meal all the time before--it sounds like the head cook just doesn't have any imagination, especially since there are a lot cheaper menus than chicken.

Some things never change on moving from class to class. I graduated in 1981, and we were on a bell system, too. We had 10 minutes to get from one end of the building to the other, and if you had to go to your locker or go to the bathroom (which wasn't safe, anyway), you were SOL.

We started at 7:45, and the reason everybody is a zombie is that your body clock changes when you hit your teens. Suddenly, your system starts going "I need to stay up until after midnight and sleep until noon." The schools just don't take that into consideration, partly because they have to worry about parents' schedules and any other kids that the teens may be responsible for.

it`s like being in the army and the teachers are like drilsarghants it`s mading

Its Called Conditioning the masses.
They have been working on something for many years and they are more than half way finished with theyr plans.
They = Illuminati
Plan = New World Order
sound farfetched ? look on the back of the dollar bill.
Nuvus Ordo Seclorum = new order of the world

It was T.Jefferson who said .
I sincerely believe banking institutions having the issuance power of money are more powerfull than Any standing army.

"""""""""""""""""""" think about that """"""""""""""""""

He was a prowd Member of the Illuminati as was Franklin.

This is the perfect answer to your question i think.

The entire infostructure of our government is untouchable to a certain degree unless things change drasticly and theese are just some reasons why.(why do you think theyr changing the constitution of our country ?)

Here are a few reasons the worlds economy is so shaky none of this is speculation its all fact and public record.

Anyone who understands this knowledge can simpathise as well as feel compassion for any other national or color or creed so to speak .

Please read to the end it is important VERY.

YES this has everything to do with whats going on in russia .Check out all the facts look at the big picture.

Over 900 lies and counting its in the news right now look in the paper thats just a few of the bush administrations lies.

North korea freaks out Russia says get out thanks but we dont trust you or care for your help with anything any more leaders all over the world " terminated " unrest in italy right now all pertains to this same problem with the world .
Its the ones behind the scenes crossing off theyr lists.
Many have tryed to give warnings in the past like JFK did in his speaches about the people actualy in control of the puppets.
The thousands that die american british iraqi pallestinian they dont care its all part of theyr plan they cant wait till its just them on the planet and a few slaves.
Research look into new laws and directives and actualy read the garbage called 911 commission report.
When you pull it all out from george washington to george bush and stand back and look at it all BIG PICTURE you will see the truth scary sad truth.

Recent report in the news .Record amount of tourist in N.Y. last couple years hmm mabey its because tens of thousands of people have been gathering there for 911 truth rallies trying to get the Gov to start telling the truth.Or is it just people going there to meet Silverstien the man who admitted giving the order to push the button on the buildings he had just leassed.
""""Let me stop for a second and ask you a question."""""

What would YOU do if you were a famous reporter with a good rep.and recieved a letter in the mail with a deadly substance in it Directly linked (by D N A ) to the American millitary : With an Ultimatum ?
would you watch what you say and do as your told and hope you dont get any more letters?

Reason i ask is this did happen and stories did change.

Anyway Bush himself just some basic well know facts hes part of skull and bones .illuminati .
who was in charge of security at the WTC complex on 911 and the months leading up to it (Marvin Bush ) wow what a coinsidence.
Who helped fund and arm Hitlers cause and was even (on the record ) charged but not convicted of such ?None other that Prescot Bush, Pres.Bush s grand father.
Ever heard of Bushs oil intrest and dealing with a man named Osama Bin Ladin?
Look up the music video from eminem bush knocked down the towers wether you like rap or not if you like to hear the truth and want to get to know your pres. better watch that video.
But to those of you reading this who still think it matters "democrat ,republican" what ever WAKE up it matters not even WHO you vote for any more the last 3 elections have proven that they have controll over it.Who ever the World Bank wants there to be theyr puppet is who will get elected (unless you see our army headed back any time soon to retake controll of Washington )as our consitution actualy tells them to do in this kind of situation.we will never again have controll of our Gov. Media or our schools and what our children are being taught.If you take a serrious look back into history you can trace it back even as far as T.Jeffersons notes about the illuminati and theyr plans for how they would set up the new world order .Awell thought out and so far well orcestrated plan they are more than half way theyr .

""""""""But it was John F Kennedy that tryed to warn us """""
in his speaches thats why he was shot listen to his speaches. His words tell it all , whats happening right now he tryed to warn us he saw it comming.
The pres is just a puppet, who cares what his name is or what he says he stands for. Its the bankers running the country not him.

They had alotta people fooled untill they did 911 that actualy woke some of us up think it might have backfired on them to some point cause they left it so obvious they did it.Do the homework dont believe anything sept for what you see for yourself please look , do research.

Doesnt take long to see the truth .Doesnt take long to figure out how the BBC accedently reported the solomin brothers building coming down oops 20 min before it collapsed.
As Silverstien put it after he gave the command to Pull.

It cant be denied they had foreknowledge.

(Go to you tube type in 20 minutes before it collapsed and see for yourself it will blow your mind if your new to the truth ).

Doesnt take a scientist with a PHD like Dr, Judy Wood to figure out a 110 story building cant come down in 10 seconds without some help.

Though i did like her presentation.

What she found is prob. what scared the hell out of north korea and made them start freaking out.

Its also probly why China has recently anounced its putting more sattelites in space alot more.Judies got it down to a science litteraly just think 47 story tall building has a higher rubble pile than 2 110 story buildings hmmm time to do some math .(there is still plenty of evidence that the towers pile wasnt even as high as what was left of the still standing lobby windows right after the dust settled)

Hope this helps.911 ripple effect or 911 coincidences or
look up loose change if you never have ive resurched all theyr material for months and others but anyway they did a good job and all theyr info IS FACT .
There Are others out there though ,some are out there to misslead you just pay atention to the proof easy stuff like all the documented but not made public( through so called Media) sooo many people in the buildings and all around saw and heard the bombs going off sooo many people know first hand and reported the demolition but not mainstreem media.(the first day they did talk about the bombs on tv)

Was no surprise to me at all when i read in the news that Tony Blair joined J P Morgan when you see the big picture and put all the banker pieces together rothchild , Rockafeller and such you too will not be surprised it is actualy a step on a list checked off.

Try to prove me wrong in any of this PLEASE that means your finding truth sory this truth hurts but just think of what the firemen with 30 years in that have to keep theyr mouth shut have to go through.
Just go to the adress bar and type in 911 truth from theyr website you can find the truth up to you what you do with it .
you tube ; you can handle the truth 911 , loose change , 911 coincidences just the tip of the huge piramid
I hope wesley snipes can wake a few people up to the fact that there realy is no LAW that says personal income tax from individuals only on corprate profit and gains. If he "wins" the case he will "Not" be the first.

""" IF ANYONE THINKS ANY OF THIS IS NOT TRUE they must not realize its all PUBLIC RECORD and easly found .Hard part is at first you dont want to believe i know
been there.
What does our Constitution order our army to do ? And Why do you think at the end of the paragraph you find the words foreign AND DOMESTIC?

Bin Laden Had nothing to do with the events of 911

Its kind of ironic realy our millitary are the war criminals the UN never gave the ok to go to war.
Though in my eyes theyr all forgiven IF they com back and take over washington as is theyr duty in a situation such as this.
If you still care WHO is gonna be next in line just pay attention to theyr body language if you look back at the old tapes of bushs past elections you can see it plain as day study it and then use what you learn to find the next in line before it happens . Statements he made like ,oh im gonna win .

Open your eyes to the truth and youl see it stand out like a sore thumb.

25 U.S Military Officers Challenge offical account of 9/11, what do you think of this?
January 14, 2008 鈥?Twenty-five former U.S. military officers have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and called for a new investigation. They include former commander of U.S. Army Intelligence, Major General Albert Stubblebine, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Col. Ronald D. Ray, two former staff members of the Director of the National Security Agency; Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, PhD, and Major John M. Newman, PhD, and many others. They are among the rapidly growing number of military and intelligence service veterans, scientists, engineers, and architects challenging the government鈥檚 story.
鈥淎 lot of these pieces of information, taken together, prove that the official story, the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a bunch of hogwash. It鈥檚 impossible,鈥?said Lt. Col. Robert Bowman, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret).

because these students spill their garbage onto innocent society ..... ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure....
