The discussion is one sided because the practice is so horrible that there is no way to defend it.
There are a lot of other ways to deal with non-conforming teenagers that do not involve kidnapping, isolation and brainwashing.
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoPedantry incoming, I have no serious criticism of your comment. I just think it’s interesting that we seem to agree but I thought your word choice was interesting. Non-conforming is a funny word to use for this, so I’ll rephrase for clarity to represent a bit of a middle ground: Even shitty kids should not be kidnapped or psychologically abused. Brainwashing has lost all its bite in this day in age. I’m coming around to the opinion/usage that something as innocuous as public school can reasonably be understood to engage in the “brainwashing” of children. Same is true with ‘isolation, ‘surely, or is ‘No Recess’ no longer the most effective elementary school disciplinary tool?
