My old school system: "Black students and the ‘school-to-prison pipeline'"

[quote]In the end, eight Enloe students, all 16 to 17 years old, along with a parent, were arrested following events related to the water balloon fight. In North Carolina, being arrested as a teenager has enormous consequences. It’s one of two states in the country that considers 16- and 17-year-olds to be adults when they are charged with a criminal offense and then denies them the chance to appeal for return to the juvenile system. The law means that misdemeanor charges stick on your permanent record.[/quote] Basically, NC won't let you get away with shit after 16, even if it's a stupid water ballon fight. Also, I thought it was funny how the title of the article was really dramatic, but the story was a bit lame. Nonetheless, ya'll get a look into my life here, so read up about the cluster-blam!- that is the Wake Country Public School System, bc that shit is messy.

  • I've been saying this quite often the whole school system is turning into prisons with words like 'lockdowns', 'metal detectors' and them always blowing out of proportion the stupidest stuff. I just can't help but laugh when I see stories about like 8 year old kids getting expelled because they were playing cops and robbers and one of them made a gun symbol with their hands .... they are kids and now they can't be anymore. When i was in school making shapes with your hand like a gun was normal and people didn't freak out like idiots. Some schools even have banned physical contact with one another ... so stupid.
