I’m just saying… you never had a kid in class that was years older then everyone else, not doing shit, disrupting class all the time, getting violent and ending up in jail for attempt murder just after leaving school? I had. I wish there was a way to get him out of school earlier. I would be a better environment for everyone. But there wasn’t so they had to deal with him till he was 18 yo. Then on the other hand if you let teachers kick kids out they will get lazy and start locking up children for anything like in Texas.

Do you know what solitary confinement is? It’s putting someone in a cell, likely without furniture, for lengthy periods of time (discounting an hour of exercise by themselves). The light never turns off. There is absolutely no stimulation whatsoever allowed. Other prisoners yell through the air ducts in the hopes that someone will yell back.

That environment is torture for an adult. This is a 10-year-old child.

You really think the general populace is safe for a 10-year old?

Solitary confinement sucks, but in many cases it’s done to protect individuals from, you know, the other extremely violent people.

How about not putting them in prison at all?

So, to be clear, you support prison and solitary confinement for preteens?

If you’re trying to be funny, you’ve taken it too far. You should be yeeted into a Texas prison where you claim immature assholes belong, because this situation isn’t a fucking joke.

Weird, in my case it was only in elementary school. High school was not mandatory so the disruptive kids simply didn’t go there.

Edit: Oh, just realized that you probably also have middle school. I didn’t. It was the same school from age 7 to 15. Education was mandatory till 18 or 16 yo so the school was stuck with all the stupid kids till then.

Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??

I hope that maybe you’re just ignorant to what “solitary confinement” means, but even then, you’re talking about locking children away in fucking prison for misbehaving in 6th grade art class. Get a grip.

Are you for real? I’m seriously asking, because if you are, you need help.
