Via reddit.com I recently found Ten Reasons Why America's Public Schools Are Like America's Prisons. Justin and Matt did a good job in listing many similarities.
Joel Turtel wrote a comparable column last year: PUBLIC SCHOOLS - PUBLIC PRISONS.
And two years ago Gary North worked on the same theme in The Story of Two Buses. Gary opens with:
----------
Picture this. You’re driving down the highway with your nine-year-old son. You’re in the middle lane. On your right, one behind the other, are two buses. The bus in front is painted white. The bus behind is painted yellow. The bus in front has its windows painted over. The bus behind does not.
Your son asks you a question. "What are those two buses, Daddy?" You tell him that they are two very different kinds of buses. "How are they different?" he asks. You explain that on the first bus are prisoners who are being taken to jail. On the second bus are students who are being taken to school. "But how is that different?" your son asks. That’s what I’m asking, too
