Modern schools don’t look like schools at all, they look like penitentiaries. They way they are run is like a prison with cops and security guards at the front.
They were just preparing this kid for the day he would be in a real prison.
Training them for life as sheep.
SOme teachers and principals need firing...............
Not only is this dehumanizing, it is dangerous. The drywall in the picture at the site shows what looks like a partial sheet of drywall just leaning up against a desk. A full sheet of 1/2” drywall can weight up to 50 pounds. This half sheet of drywall could injure a child of 3.
Carr: Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There’s no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell’s at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top... the top sheet on the bottom... and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one’ll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don’t bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I’m Carr, the floor walker. I’m responsible for order in here. Any man don’t keep order spends a night in...
Luke: ...the box.
Carr: I hope you ain’t going to be a hard case.
They used to call these “time out rooms”.
Oh no!! They should have used duct tape! haha/ former inner city teacher here.
That school must learn to think outside the box.
I had a gradeschool teacher who used tape and a stick. She would tape the kids mouth. Hit the kids over their hands too.
Then again it was a Catholic school. The nuns were evil too.
When I was a kid we could be made to stand in a corner, face to the walls if we misbehaved. A timeout with a place to sit down would have been welcome!
