John Gatto is the best expert on public ed that there is and he calls it a 12-year prison sentence for children.

I always understood, while a child, that school was prison for kids. The cops would even come get you if you skipped school. You got to go home each afternoon for good behavior. (because if you had bad behavior, you didn't want to go home because then you'd really get the prison treatment (beatings, seclusion).

It was a wonderful life.
