Last year we posted about several people comparing schools to prisons. These columns were tongue in cheek, but they were trying to make a serious point. Since then we've blogged about schools in Michigan deciding that students must wear ID badges and schools in the UK fingerprinting the students without asking or even telling the parents.
Judy Aron has another nail in this coffin with Police Now Have Live Feed of Videos From Inside School.
I remember reading a couple months ago that students in high school had less rights than prisoners. It was in a book published this year on how society needs to allow teenagers more rights and responsibilities.
Maybe the correct comparison is that jails are like schools.
