Would you rather be confined to a boiler room, briefly or confined in prison for the rest of your life?
Prison ...
You know ... that place that's run by violent racist gangs, where any offense given to another can result in you being raped and or murdered? Or how about solitary confinement for life in Florence ADMAX?
Comparing this to how we treat serial murderers is absurd ...
1) I am not defending this practice per se ... I see a lot of problems with it, including the way that children who aren't a bunch of hypersensitive yardbirds could make it backfire.
2) This kind of ad-hoc, poorly considered punishment is the inevitable, predictable result of policies which prevent teachers enforcing some discipline in the classroom.
3) This kind of ad-hoc, poorly considered punishment is the inevitable, predictable result of parents who refuse to raise their children properly.
I said that we DON’T treat serial murderers this way.
That is not a comparison, that is a contrast.
When is the last time you were in a prison?
