Many schools are prisons, same as ever.

  No, they’re inverted prisons.

    They're designed to isolate and control everyone outside of them in order to keep the children inside safe? That is certainly an opinion.

      That's not at all what i meant, but it doesn't matter.
      - ndileas 2y ago
        I'm genuinely curious what you meant! I can totally understand those who say schools are like prisons. I've never encountered the inversion of that idea.

  All pre-secondary schools are designed to control the movements of students. It is one of their fundamental benefits to society.

  Clearly the answer is airport grade security at schools and militarizing police, instead of fixing the root causes.

    Nobody knows how to fix the root causes.

        The political system in the US is unique among developed countries. What, concretely, do you suggest should be done?

        How do you suggest we reduce the prevalence of guns / improve gun control in the US? Keep in mind that the US is not a functioning democracy and its political system is structured to allow any side to block any substantial reform.

        Are you answering your own question? I read your reply as : "How do we stop Z? X and Y are the cause of Z. The thing is, I said gun control, but I'm not even sure that's real issue. I kinda took it backward. There are mass shootings because of the ease of access to guns, but it's not the ease of access to guns that pushes people to this. In other ords, remove the guns, the mechanisms that drive people to think they want to kill remains. I might be wrong but it feels like in Europe there are more and more cold weapons attacks, or the use of ramming trucks. I guess I have no suggestions.

Perhaps. Can’t afford books and friend trips, spending on buggy AI scanners.

Yes, but the nightmare is that we can't assume that children won't have guns on them.
