When I was an elementary school teacher one year a student had a really, really hard time. Not for nothing; homeless family, sole caregiver with addition problems, etc. Student was doing lots of acting out at school.
PTA parents: Call the cops.
HE’S NINE FUCKING YEARS OLD! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
When he (or his sister, who had equally big meltdowns but a had better classroom teacher) they’d just come to my room and chill out. Sit under my desk, sit on my lap for a hug and cry, whatever.
Fuck everyone and anyone who wants to put children in handcuffs. First against the fucking wall as far as I’m concerned.
It's fucked that everyone wants to toss every "criminal" in jail and let them rot (some of them definitely have it coming, but that's beside the point of)
It's completely unhinged that people are happy to throw children into the "criminal" bucket and have the exact same fate. Like it should be an easy sell that perhaps some children would benefit from a full time residential facility that rehabilitates them (yes basically juvie, but actually functional at rehabilitating the kinds into functional adults by the time they're 18). If people could see that, it would hopefully not be too difficult to map that onto the adult "corrections" (let's rename it) system, but they can't see it in the first place
So many adults see children (including their own) as obstacles to “success” (access to resources) and they just want the bad elements excised. Cynicism sucks.
I think it's more that children are considered property. The rest still works out
Oh yeah for sure, check out the book Childism on that score. Fucking brutal read.
Parents see their kids as that proverbial lump of clay that they can/should master and shape. Everyone else is misformed and can be disregarded. But I think the motivation has to do with success/outcomes. Parents own neurosis also come into play.
I won't on account of i don't need to be more informed depressed but thank you
Lol I hear you on that. The Utah Philips song Kids Liberation is probably just as good and not a downer tbh.
PTA parents: Call the cops.
I'm not going to go to bat for the cops or PTA parents that get to treat cops as customer life support but on a more systematic level: Who else you gonna call?
There's one emergency number left in society and it's for active fire, medical emergency and also everything else that I don't think that should happen.
I'm not watching the video, but yeah this has been an outcome of over-policing of schools in the name of safety from shooters and the like. It ends up turning things like fights between students from detention into a criminal assault charges that have much more long term consequences.
school shootings stopped: 0
new meat for the carceral state : 10000000000
:mission-accomplished: this was always the point and the plan
theres more cops and more arrests at poorer schools too ofc :pigmask:
Who would have thought that putting :thumb-cop: in schools would have bad consequences?
At least 40% of their wives
