In a society plagued with the illusion of safe spaces and security, schools are becoming more like jails.
The control of the superintendent and warden are much the same. Students who express independent thought not aligned with the political agenda of the “educational” institution are treated much the same as inmates who insight and inspire better treatment.
What impact does “educating” so many future humans with the Jail mindset have on our humanity?
Some sorry countries in the developed world jail their natural-born citizens for expressing disagreement with policy or for providing independent thought not aligned with the prevailing political agenda.
The War on Ignorance continues. . .
Right on! As an Art teacher working within the confines of ignorant superintendents who r not in touch with each student (requiring actual knowledge of what needs r), the great imbalances between budgets 4 Sports vs the Arts r surreal. Paying educators a living wage may improve rates teachers r leaving the profession but administrators must allow the teachers themselves 2 create/implement the best curriculum based on individual needs.
