Today on class we watch a video about school, students and prison. Some of the questions that are on my mind are: is there anything behind this actions were only color people suffer their penalty of having problems with the police and courts? What is going on in society that it's making me think that it's all racism? Why they need to put a mark on these children that later will stop them from subside on life, like most of the cases of the students in the video? I am sure there most be a different way to make students understand that they need to change the way they behave.
I am completely disagree with the way these students are treated, how you are going to put a child in court because of a graffiti? I understand he was wrong but they needed to do something else to make the students understand and change. Think about it, now you had put the student in a situation were he needed to be presented in a penalty court which will stay on the student's record for life and every time the student go outside to look for a job it will be the first thing that will come up and stop them from success. What is the choice that the student have now that he's an adult and cannot find a job to pay for his bills? He will find a way to get money and subside, that means he will be forced to do worse things in order to get the money he needs since he cannot get it in a right and legal way.
