              Not only do i work in a district that uses metal detectors, but employs security guards to keep the kids in line. Even down to elementary level.

              My highschool literally had those and I had to wait in a long-ass line everyday before school, and if students are late, they get blamed for it, I’m not US-Bashing, its just the truth.

              Example (this one is not my school btw):

          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.

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

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