  Fences, rigid schedule, forced interactions, institutional food, mindlessly boring, I’m going to do a Foucault and say yes.

  As if school wasn’t already a prison with all the metal detectors and xray machines.

      I knew people from bigger cities that had metal detectors in the mid-aughts. I think they’re wider spread now, but I don’t know much about schools now. Not sure about X-ray machines, never heard about those in a school.

      In the sticks, we don’t have any of the machines. The textbooks are usually older than the pupils too and a lot of the stuff is in poor repair, so it may be an issue of funding.

  My understanding is that prison is waaaay worse. Needlessly cruel, you might say

  Keep that kind of talk in the yard where they aren’t listening so close.
