Grew up in the US. American schools, especially in the South, are very much a rendition of a prison, along with a fence and only one exit to the outside through the front door which is guarded. Compare that to Canada, where I also went to school. If you want to walk out of the school, you may do so at any time during the day with no consequence. During your lunch break you can go buy whatever you want and even hang out in an area designated for smoking. So yeah America's schools suck from my experience. Third world schools are however much worse where teachers can often beat the students with no recourse.
