What’s the difference between school and prison? « Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub: "What’s the difference between school and prison? Give up? Yeah, often the students give up, too. If you don’t know the answer, your school may resemble a prison. Gary Stager’s post with jarring comparison."
This is a great article! Schools eliminating recess to instruct children in drills. Don't they realize that the more freedom they take away, the worse children will behave? I think they do realize it and do it so they can punish kids.
