The Prison Path: School Practices that Hurt Our Youth takes a
unique and unapologetic look into the practices, social norms,
construction, and policies within our schools that mirror prisons.
From the physical building to the labeling and placement of special
education students, schools are reflecting correctional
institutions. Beyond the mundane and into the world of social
cliques, discipline policies, uniforms, and ethics, this book
highlights how similarities between schools and prisons create a
hidden and dangerous environment for at-risk students. While many
schools and teachers are doing the best they can while facing
budget shortfalls, it is the inherent policies, procedures, and
normalities that are thought of as being part of the school
experience, that may be the most hazardous for at-risk students.
Therefore, this book highlights these occurrences and juxtaposes
them with similar situations within prisons, providing an
eye-opening and daunting look at prisons and schools. This book
will cause teachers and those within education to question the
practices, policies, and norms that we consider part of the typical
school experience. Some additional key features of this book
include: *Chapter by chapter examination of the similarities in
prisons and school *Detailed look at the process of special
education labeling and its detrimental impact on students
*Examination of the role of social cliques and gangs in
institutions *A unique look at the school-to-prison pipeline
*In-depth questions to ask oneself about to improve schools
*Dangers of inviting school resources officers into schools and
cutting guidance services *Real-life scenarios
