        I’m just saying… you never had a kid in class that was years older then everyone else, not doing shit, disrupting class all the time, getting violent and ending up in jail for attempt murder just after leaving school? I had. I wish there was a way to get him out of school earlier. I would be a better environment for everyone. But there wasn’t so they had to deal with him till he was 18 yo. Then on the other hand if you let teachers kick kids out they will get lazy and start locking up children for anything like in Texas.

          Are you for real? I’m seriously asking, because if you are, you need help.

            Weird, in my case it was only in elementary school. High school was not mandatory so the disruptive kids simply didn’t go there.

            Edit: Oh, just realized that you probably also have middle school. I didn’t. It was the same school from age 7 to 15. Education was mandatory till 18 or 16 yo so the school was stuck with all the stupid kids till then.

              Ahhhh right, simple mistake to make. Middle school kids definitely deserve solitary confinement. Fucking what??

              I hope that maybe you’re just ignorant to what “solitary confinement” means, but even then, you’re talking about locking children away in fucking prison for misbehaving in 6th grade art class. Get a grip.

                Jesus, who’s talking about solitary confinement? Not even the original comment mentioned it. I definitely didn’t. Relax. It’s a shitty situation but getting angry about things you imagined is not going to save anyone.

                  Scroll back up and check out the headline of the thread you’re posting in…

                    So reddit of you. Ignore the entire thread, look only at the headline, talking about related things is forbidden, only the headline matters.

                  The original article is about putting a child into solitary confinement. You don’t even need to read the article. But keep moving those goalposts…

                  Is it really that much harder to just admit you were wrong (or literally just take the L and not respond at all) than doubling down on something so easily disproven?

                  The mindset is just fascinating to me.

                    And ladies and gents, we have the ‘moving goalposts’ comment, it’s ‘reddit bingo’ and we can close this thread. Thanks you everyone.

      Shouldn’t matter. You don’t throw kids in jail just because they are assholes.

      1. Kids are kids. Asshole parents raise asshole adults.
