School To Put Students In 'Prison' Jumpsuits As Punishment http://www.local6.com/education/17035594/detail.html This is the sort of headline that can make a humorist rub their hands gleefully….especially after my blog entry the other day where I note that the differences between prisons and schools are sometimes barely perceptible. However, my smile was wry at best. The navy blue jump suits are to be donned by students who break the dress code. I can see the wisdom behind this…a girl shows up with her, er, BUTTerflies showing. Or a young man with the crack of dawn peering up from his baggy boxers. Mom and Dad have abdicated their parental responsibilities by allowing their kids to dress like a Las Vegas lounge act. Or like a gangsta thug. What’s a harried school Enter the jumpsuit. It’s another sad testimony what happens when the state assumes the role of parent. |
