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 miss the good old days, when kids got into a fight, they would just get detention and learn their lesson. Now if kids got into a fight, the school might as well call the SWAT team, honestly this over protective shit is getting out of hand.
