The school-to-prison pipeline, explained 

+Derrick Wade Yeah, it's as if the entire US societal structure is being based on punishment, instead of actually trying to help people.

+Derrick Wade Illicit drinking of milk during nap time.

+Derrick Wade Lmfao your profile pic is so confusing.

+Gnug215 Because The US foster Independence not dependence.

+East South Well, punishment is also dependent on others, isn't it?

+Karna Upadhyay Lol I asked the same thing. How do you enforce any sort of code of conduct against toddlers? It seems ridic, but in our modern "cultured" society, not much surprises me anymore.

kickapowwww Right. How stupid is it to enforce rules on someone who is literally a cognitive toddler. I dunno if they even have empathy before 4 years old. They just learned object permanence, lol.

+Karna Upadhyay I thought the same thing as soon as I heard that lol

+Karna Upadhyay You should do some study of adolescent pyschology. Major attachment issues along with conduct disorder can present by that age. Alot of the kids are suspend for being continually violent towards other kids.

Caleb Paddack Well a preschooler isn't an adolescent, so....

Once I saw an officer come to our kindergarten class, I think the kid had stolen something

yeah I have been expelled from a school when I was in kindergarten I remember it very clear. the teacher was collecting balls after recess and I was walking towards her and when she was a few feet away I kicked as hard as I could right into her face and she had to go to the hospital. I swear God I didn't mean to hurt her but I was just hyped up at the time bc I was playing kick ball. I remember they wanted to arrest me but the teacher did not want to, my mother had to come pick me up while principal chewed me out and in kindergarten was kicked out after only 3 weeks into the school year. after finding a new school my mom got in touch with teacher and that whole summer a couple times a week I went to ms georgiou house and did yard work.to this day I felt so bad but I have to say that teacher was a angel and may she RIP

Skyranex Nooo she didn't die, she just took a ball to the face, and had to go to the hospital

Lunella Wintermint more like she took an arrow to the knee

I was expelled from pre-school because I slapped a teacher on the wrist after she did that t one of my friends.

Lol

Unfortunately we need them. Ever try to learn Geometry with half the class screaming at the top of their lungs and interrupting class? Just go to a majority black school.. They get much MORE funding than white schools, but it's the STUDENTS who make it impossible to learn, not the faculty.

I don't suppose you have any evidence to back any of that?

Yes, I do. Never take anyone's statistics at face value. Mine were based on data from greatschools.org, a site that compiles data like test scores, funding, and teacher to student ratios in order to provide parents with an informed decision when choosing a school district for their child. But this data is freely available online in other places. Washington DC is considered a very poor area of the United States. Washington DC public schools are an average of 83% black. The average amount of funding is a staggering $15,746 per student. The average is one teacher per 13 students. West Virginia is also considered a very poor area of the country. West Virginia public schools are 93% white and average $9,411 in funding. The state average is one teacher per 18 students. Despite the huge difference in funding poor whites in West Virginia dramatically outperform blacks in the over-funded DC schools. In fact Washington DC public school students have been called the worst performing students in the industrialized world.

Instead of blaming the problem on the children, try to figure out the real problem. Children don't act badly just because they are bad kids, there is a reason. Handcuffing kids and treating them brutally is NOT going to solve anything, it just makes it much much worse. It's stupidity enforced by people who have no idea what they are doing. There is something wrong with the system. The other day I read about a little boy who was handcuffed in class just because he was crying. It's ridiculous. Have they nothing better to do than terrorizing children? A grown person who hasn't even studied basic pedagogy have no business in a class room.

It's pretty normal

+Todd Howard you're*

***** thats the funniest thing i hear in a while you made my day

It is not only police in schools, but they are not there to protect the kids but to punish them.

I lived in a place with extremely low crime rates and we still had police 2 or 3 police officers on campus in my middle school, in my two years there they essentially did nothing

+Will Parkinson Dude you should have seen some of the fights that broke out at my high school, if the police weren't there it could have gotten really violent quite a few times. And I know this is perpetuating stereotypes and racism and all that shit, but I swear to God, in every single fight there was a black kid involved. I'm not trying to insinuate anything, but that is a fact.

+Will Parkinson most schools have a resource officer. they rarely get involved in anything unless something illegal happens.

+beet111 yeah. Mine only get involved when there are drug busts

+Will Parkinson I live in Canada and they have at least one standing by.

+hammerstorm It's more of a sad thing that officers are needed at schools.

Hence why the US is basically a dystopia in many ways.

No. These are policies carefully drawn up by private prison operators. Private prisons are very lucrative for their owners. People have to lose for others to win. Can't afford a yacht and fancy house without others getting the short of the stick.

Thts cold. Thankfully they only add expulsions to your record here which has resulted in schools having sympathy for their students and trying to sway from the media by telling the student and their parents tht if they stay they will be expelled but if they leave on their own accord, the school will help them get into a neighbouring school of the same calibre. It works because schools close by within the same league work with each other ultimately avoiding bad press and giving the student another chance without it going on their record. One shady transaction thts actually beneficial for once.

@@Cherry-pu4mx I've heard of this practice. Sad that schools have to bend/break the rules because the rules are not in their students' best interests.

We live in a country run by devils the earth is give unto the wicked. They got everybody blaming the blacks the immigrants the ones with no power. While they steal ur social security nd pensions. They steal more and more wealth they destroy the country with inflation racist policies and they put no investment in the land or the people. When is enough enough?

that is possibly do to the simple reason that you're a racist and you view and inject race as a factor into everything. example: the white guy standing in line 5 minutes earlier than the black/hispanic/asian/indian/white guy to get a sandwich only got his first because he's white, white people always think they got to be 1st. im sure you've said something similar before.

+fivemeomedia Liar.

IDontHaveMoney WishIHadMoney being held back in preschool is really common. When most people hear "held back" they assume it's because they didn't pass, but in most cases they never even began the school year. Really little kids develop at different rates, and a lot of young kids are encouraged by schools to wait a year before entering, if the school thinks they're not ready. If you can remember that far back, you might remember being tested by your teacher before you ever started preschool/kindergarten. Source: my mother has a master's in early childhood education

Usually they don’t make a quota for progress but it’s not a bad thing

I think i did its all a blur i alao got held back in eigth grade which devistated me

It's good because those schools don't get shot up. Our SRO sis super friendly and everyone talks with them and tells them their problems.

They are IN the schools. Mostly just the ones in high crime neighborhoods or if there has been problems at that school.

yep. and people who aren't *technically * officers, but security guards.

its better to be safe then sorry

ohjesuscrappingcrap it’s always been like that you act like there is 12 of them in one school 65% of the time it’s only one

you could go to community college or trade school

Dude, you lost. You let them push you out of school and end up in a dead-end job. Ending up where you are now is just showing those bullies that they've won. They've kept you down in school, and now they've kept you down in the real world. Get yourself a GED and find a way to get into college. Prove to them that you're the type of person that get back up! It's never too late. I'm 24 and just starting college, you can definitely get your GED before 24 and start college at an age before I am!

wavey61 A lot of good an education does you today. All it does is make you over-qualified for the crap job you're gonna get. That crap job will likely become automated in at least the next decade. You can try to look for a career that won't be automated to soon. But, it's likely that all positions for those careers are going to be in low to no demand. You're probably better off not having to pay off student loans and hope for the best to come

+pointlessfailure The prison system doesn't make a profit lol. The inmates don't pay rent; taxpayers do.

+Suedocode there are actually some for - profit prisons in the US. it's awful, really. and, I think she was being sarcastic :)

+pointlessfailure It will all make sense to you when you learn the members of the school board are funded by the same lobbyists who push for "tough on crime" legislation.

+Suedocode And the tax money goes to the prisons. The owners of the prisons spend that money on lobbyists in your senate. The senate passes more criminal laws and now there are more convicted persons. More prisoners, more tax money. More lobbying, tougher criminal laws. Rinse repeat, rinse repeat. Oh and don't forget that national debt. You want to make an honest living so you can escape this cycle? Good luck.

+pointlessfailure omg this actually made me laugh

That's disgusting

As someone who attended (Catholic) private school from the 3rd grade to being a senior in high school, they might do worse because the regulations are stricter.

I laughed way too hard at the kid beeing yeeted out of the chair by the police officer😂

Private Schools don't take bullying seriously.

In my personal opinion, and experience as a child who had several best friends who went to several different ones before being placed in public. Private schools are worse, less people around to see and more positions of power able to gaslight the children in whatever situations they want

That was my parents 100%, sweep everything under the rug, what would the neighbours and the ladies at church think? Must maintain appearances at all costs

I would think bad parent(s) or a broken home would account for a lot more than 1%

+BigEvan96 The US government, you mean. Other countries have fantastic government run schools.

deadeaded Can you provide a few examples?

....basically everyone else? If you're really curious, look up rankings of student performance. Finland seem to be doing quite well.

+BigEvan96 belgium over here, we don't have police controlling in school everyday, one 1once in few year for drugs, but they will not control a school the whole day, race here is not so bad in the us, if you done something bad, you get punished and you know how? stay after school write so many pages and the worse of all, stay home and write so many paged, if that doesn't work, can't come back for x years, but usa and his gun rights and racial problems, i don't understand how this country is so safe, i think it would be better for usa to stay away from problems of other countries and actually deal with their own first, even poor countries doesn't has this problem

+BigEvan96 Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland... Here in Communist Europe, I think it's pretty much every country, and I'm pretty sure most of the countries have a "school-to-prison pipeline" going on. I'm no expert on this, but one difference I think I'm seeing is the US has a lot of focus on puhishment (both in the prison system, but apparently also in the school system, as this video shows), whereas much of EU is focused on rehabilitation. Maybe that has something to do with it, although the full picture is undoubtedly more complex.

literally have batons, guns, tasers, and handcuffs for 100% school shooting rate because of black kids existing at the school apparently.

Most American schools don't have police officers.

it's ok to shoot a kid

Yes ( I’m in IL )

Yeah I had a police officer in school its not to bad only when they bring them in to situations that are not Necessary for police then it gets bad

It really isn't weird when you think about it. When there was a police officer at my high school, I felt more safe than uncomfortable. If something were to happen where a police officer were to be needed, there would be one already there to help. Better than some school faculty that is only there to get paid that doesn't give nearly enough of a shit to help the students and risk themselves.

yeah our police were cool most of the time but theres times where the restrain students violently because they were arguing they dont know how to treat students they just know how to treat criminals of course not all are bad after the last cop was fire for grabbing a student by their neck a much better came along but they even still has some issues when its right to do something

+RatedNovice The fact that you need a police officer to feel more comfortable is disturbing? Why are there so many fights in american schools?

Aditya Ravishankar Isn't that what police are for? To make people feel safe and secure even if there is no danger? Fights rarely occur in our schools, but that doesn't change the fact that the police officers make me feel safe.

Max Đỗ I mean Sweden is the rape capital of the world due to there "tolerance"

@@barnacles1352 That's complete nonsense. If that was the case, than the Gospel would be an exclusive legalistic club and Jesus would have rejected the sinners in His ministry. Claiming that loving thy enemy has an * is fundamentally anti-Christian. Jesus literally said "I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

@@gabetalks9275 exactly if that's what God meant He would have said that

Police have been in schools since the 80s eighties and parked outside them prior to that..to prevent robbery and after school altercations.

@@splingusbugs stealing, harassment? Lol, stealing from the vending machines or saying mean things

One study is better than no study, which up until now is what these school administrators had to go off of. Skepticism is always warranted, but to totally dismiss any piece of evidence requires that evidence either failing a preponderance test of credibility or being supplanted by a better piece of evidence. In this case, no alternative study exists, and all anecdotal evidence is inherently less credible than a properly conducted study, so what we have left is a preponderance test (preponderance meaning 'of greater weight'). In order to dismiss this study as having "literally no bearing on anything", it must be proven that the weight of circumstances bolstering the credibility of that study is outweighed by factors that make it non-credible. The first element I like to look for when assessing evidence is relevance: do the findings of a study have any bearing on the validity of an argumentative claim? The thing is, while Vox only cites individual studies for many of their claims, they are typically citing a unique study for each claim. The claim that SRO's increase the likelihood of students being arrested is based on an analysis by the Justice Policy Institute, while their suspension trend data comes from a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. To try and keep things quick, I'll only focus on the JPI study. Is this study relevant to bolster Vox's argument that disciplinary policies lead to more arrests? Yes. Relevance by itself does not mean something is credible, but it's a good first step (if evidence is irrelevant it really doesn't matter whether or not its credible). Next, I want look at the mechanics of the study specifically for indications of errors. This study was published in a peer-reviewed journal (Journal of Criminal Justice), had a large sample size of 28 schools, and looked at an entire year's worth of data. Further, the data they relied on was publicly available, and kept in accordance with the standards of criminal legal proceedings. All of this provides significant weight to the credibility of the source of the study's materials, and also preemptively mitigates any potential bias on the part of the study's authors. Because the data is public and was peer reviewed, it is difficult to claim the authors are lying or misrepresenting the numbers. Finally, let's talk about factors that could hurt this study's credibility. While the sample size is certainly large, the U.S. has thousands of schools. 28 should be enough to provide a general, representative picture, but there is grounds for reconsideration if a more representative study is offered. Continuing on the theme of applicability, this study is almost 10 years old, and may not accurately portray modern SRO behaviors or practices. Further, while it would be difficult to claim the authors substantially misrepresented or twisted data, it is not impossible. Now lets assess. In preponderance tests, I like to visualize a scale, with each side representing positive factors and negative factors. On the positive side, we have a lot. Most of the available information suggests this study was conducted to a sufficient degree of rigor as to survive academic scrutiny while offering a relevant and representative perspective of a topic. On the negative, there is the potential for a prima facie challenge on the basis of whether or not the age of this study makes it irrelevant, but I see no significant evidence to suggest it would, nor do any other studies contradict this one's findings. Given the heavy weight to the affirmative, I do not believe sufficient facts exist to say that this source has "literally no bearing on anything".

your lack of critical thinking skills is absolutely hilarious, its like you need someone else to think for you.

These statiosist are playing games with our cities and our lives. They know nothing about the subject they went to school for. 😂

Isaac Adams And yours?

+Levine Levine true in some sense yes, but you have to look at the bigger picture too. the reason for police in schools in America is to add security in the case of students bringing widely available firearms to school and being selfish evil f...ools and killing people/themselves.... the main problem which is also mentioned in the video is the handoff of responsibility that is made by the school system to the police... both the police and school system have this grey area of handoff in which the schools can get rid of the problem instantly... the police deal with a certain threshold too.. ie "the criminal " so when presented with a young offender they would assume that they are criminals.This ultimately causes the problem of school to prison line

bubblybangtan before this policy is implemented (~16 century to 1999)America only had 2 highly devastating school attacks (I think)one in 1770s when a American spy murdered 7 British recruits in a military school and columbine,after the policy,there is a major school attack every 3 months.

Orrrrr, the school could TALK to the parent about their child’s behavior and suggest alternatives to get the child the help they need instead of just punishing them.

I go to a black and white school and they have private security

my school is equal parts black, white, and latino. We don't have any actual security but maybe that's just cause we're so rural
