I understand the need, arresting people as a means of deterrent is a bad idea. It lowers self esteem and not to mention long term harm. In jail... stuff happens. Like joining gangs, doing missions, ect. But, I feel that some cases are exceptions. Now Miss Layson, brought up an indecent where a kid brought a little toy soldier as depicted to school and got suspended apparently. Now that was a bit over kill, maybe a verbal warning would be better. Its out of proportion. As for the idea of using police as a figure as a reprimanding force could potentially be beneficial. Although long term fear for law enforcement might not be good.

Hmm...did you put that quote as something you believe? If so, it seems to go against what you say in the blog. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteKeep your posts focused. It seems to bounce around a lot. But, I do like some of the thinking that I can pick out.
What I was trying to say is discipline is good just not to the point where it indorses free time to let the kids do gang related activities.
