yup zero tolerance is a load of crap0. at my school you get beat up an d even if you push the other person away to avoid getting ur ass kicked you go to jail too.
It's not just the American school system (which is truly awful) it THE school system throughout the world. The system every school follows was created in the 17th century, when the idea of teaching common folk was outrageous. This system was created to educate manual labourers in a factory-like environment, focusing on the in the box mistakes of one student. We need to redesign the WHOLE system in order for students to be able to thrive with their refined skills
+I am 55 years old and as far back as I can remember every waking moment of my life feels like somebody just sneaked up on me and popped a paper bag behind me. I can't sit still or even lie still. I have always gotten 5-6 hours sleep. You don't need Ritalin you are the few who can't sit still. Accept it!
I have ADHD and i can tell you it exists, however i don't take drugs for it. My mom knows it won't solve my problem so i have to do it myself. America is fucked
@isaacBrockofthe41 I have ADD and my meds don't work at all and i just tell my mom it works because if i don't then she's on my ass. then, she tells the doctor, who either ups the dose, or gives me another medication. I agree, we ARE screwed.
Thanks for my free liberal-godless(secular)-socialist education in which teachers were allowed to use common sense and the worst punishment where the ‘dumb hat/corner’ for repeated violations of classroom discipline. No looked doors or enclosed school yards or security guards - with free school lunches in a horrible socialist country. I can’t understand how we could outperform gods own people despite fewer years in school and less classroom hours per year.
Thank god I went to a small school that barely enforced It's "zero tolerance policy", and I had college professors for parents, who didn't buy onto this medicating everything crap.
How are we gonna compete against China without rote memorization and rigorous testing? I say we teach the kids that want to learn and focus on quality, not quantity in education. More kids who drop out of regular school could go to trade schools, and who knows, maybe we'll even start manufacturing shit again. College isn't for everybody, and we shouldn't try to make it that way.
sadly, they don't like the idea of alternative problem solving.
back when i was in school (not too long ago) i solved the problems in a different way, and although i got the answers correct, they didn't give me full credit for not showing me work, the reason being i solved it in a different manner.
honestly u draw the slightest sign of blood on a drawing and before u know it ur parents take u 2 a phyciatric hospital to find out if ur violent or whatever
i agree with everything in this video .. but the problem about the size of classes is the government using that money for military purposes ... teachers keep getting laid off and the size of classes keep increasing so the only way we can fix this problem is if the government stops wasting all of our money and screwing around .. this prooves that the country's problem revolves around money ... and im still in JR.

Four million kids is just ubserd no wonder our health care syster is SHIT.

the red iron curtan has covered the school's i am a bully kamikazi (i get beaten up until a teacher arrives at the scene to literally go down with the ship)a.k.a(get all bully's there beating me in trouble) I am a CAPATALIST!!!1!.
sry but after watching a few of these videos.........i hate america.......full of drugged up mental cases who are addicted to the right things but improve the right things like education by the wrong ways........
When I was in the 2nd grade we had a show and tell just after Christmas break. They told us to bring in our favorite toy. So I brought in a set of laser tag guns. They didn't even look like real guns they were red and blue and wires sticking out of them. They were going to expel me unless I allowed them to confiscate my toys. WTF!! I was like 8. I don't think I can cause many deaths with an infrared light beam!!
I think smaller classes work better. At my school each class has about 17 kids each. My grade has 61 kids. So many kids are going to leave next year because they want to go somewhere different for high school. A lot of them hate the fact that at our school the classes are so small, but I think it works best. You get a lot of attention from the teachers, and individuality and creativity are encouraged here. I get into slap fights with my friends everyday, and my friends wrestle all the time.
@HaruhiIzumi (this went over the character limit) They would've been expelled, and so would I (because I'm very outspoken, I "fight" with my friends, and I joke about A LOT of things) under a zero tolerance policy.
When I was growing up, when kids couldn't stay still and acted out in class, they were moved into special ed classes. Those classes were much smaller, maybe 10-12 kids and they got the special attention they needed. Now we don't have special ed classes because our grading system is fucked where you basically have to be retarded to get get a D and the only way to fail is not show up.
I'm 23 and I'm on dex, a common treatment for ADHD. If you take magnesium along with it in decent amounts you don't end up with physical or psychological dependence on it. Can take it for multiple months in a row then forget to take it for a week straight without any negative effect other than eventually noticing I can't slow down and focus on something. I have an almost OCD like need to be multi tasking without it. I don't think the medication is evil... Helps a lot for me.
I graduated High School last year. We had to all wear IDs and if you were caught without your ID proudly displayed then you were forced to buy a new one - no exceptions. If you didn't you'd be expelled. There are cameras everywhere and cops patrol the entire area - one on a segway. Authority's word is always taken over a students. It was hell, I almost dropped out because of all the bullshit. Nobody else seemed to recognize what was going on.
When I was young my father beat me. I would go to school and bullies would beat me up as well. My teachers would see me fidget in my chair and move about restlessly and said I had issues. The doctors put me on Ritalin.
@Supercucu123 our schools rock, the only thing ghey, is that we got VIDs, the way the cops consider themselves is different, up here we consider the cops in our schools, to protect the school from rapists, murderers. whatever...in the states, they use the cops to keep a watchful eye on the kids, bust em for silly things like cigarettes.
@StirItUP1973 Attention Deficit Disorder is a real thing in fact I was diagnosed with it when I was 15, I cant focus without meds. Boredom is what normal people get, crazy is what I get.
okay i ahve just finished watching this docu and it was amazing, one of the best because it affected me personally and emotionally cause i am now going into my sophomore year and i felt all those feelings those kids in the movie felt. i hope i can make it through alright.
When I have kids if they end up in public school and the school tries to give him ritalin or some ADD/ADHD drug, I'll refuse to let them. If they try to force it, I will pull them out, possibly sue the school, and put them in private school.
i have add and i hate it when people who dont have it try to say they have it and try to use it as a crutch. Also schools are like fucking prisons now, damn
alright, stay with me cause this is gonna be long, but legit. i thimk that there should be a system where you can hire a tutor for a few hours every so often for all your studies, i mean the schools are basically a way for adults to keep kisd locked up all day. now im not saying adults are bad being a kid and all but im against schools, im trying to start an orgaization that makes teachers into tutors for public hire, they go to your house and turn results in to a govornment facility for records
(Cont'd) You're going to hang out with your friends, of course. But later during two-hour stretches of class, you'll probably have to use the bathroom! Schools are really evil like that, and I'm glad that now that I'm in college, I don't have to ask anyone permission - I just walk out of class and go to the bathroom.
I went to school in the 90's. In elementary school, I had a few incidents of peeing my pants because it had been so drilled into my brain to not go to the bathroom during class. The school's argument was that we shouldn't go during class because we're given breaks. But what would you rather spend your break doing? Making a trip to the bathroom when you don't really have to go, which is going to cost you a good chunk of time (at least it does if you're female), or hang out with your friends?
I find it unreal that people think installing cameras into schools will prevent something like Columbine from happening. Columbine HAD cameras in the halls, the library, the lunchroom, etc. That's why we have video footage of the attack. It's the same failed logic behind IDs. Sure, maybe it helps for people not at the school that might come to hurt people, but it does nothing to stop a student from committing violence yet children have to wear them all the time. We need better schools.
Our school had a policy that if a student hit you then you mustve provoked them so you both get suspended yet they encouraged students to walk away from fights. I remember I had a student continually harassing me and all I could think of was im going to be suspended anyway I might as well make it worth it.
Which is to 'control' and 'limit' the mass consciousness of the nation - which is proven to be the case... just watch any of the mainstream news media for a few hours!

The Reviewers also missed out on John Taylor Gatto's assertion, which is absolutely backed up by documented evidence as to the hidden purpose of Compulsory State Education....
God what ever happened in, love is the only way to save. Shit sounds corny as hell but when they have these zero tolerance policies, man these kids don't need to do time in jail. They just need to be explained and counseled out, with care.
My school's never been this bad. I seriously had a 10 minute argument with my friend in the middle of the class (stopping the class to have it) whether or not Stalin was smart or not. Nobody cared afterwards that we wasted 10 minutes. I guess its different in Canada. In social class I argued with my teacher that China is not completely communist anymore and wasted even more time for no reason and she basically just said get evidence next time and continued on.
@Orjmart I'm not saying that we should drug kids. I'm just pointing out that seems to be the overall thought process of our schools and many American parents.
yeah, cenk... I doubt you read these comments but this is such a big problem that goes straight to the core of our country's spending. We waste so much money on things like Iraq and top heavy government functions that there is nothing left for education. It just keeps getting smaller and we keep asking why all the side effects are surfacing. If you really think about it, foreclosures and the mess the banking system has created are leading to kids taking prescription drugs. Its all connected.
@minytwizz I live in Canada as well, and it's the exact same thing for me, except there's almost no sense of drug controll. You can pretty much go through all your classes baked.
I have a queshton that I would really like answered. I'm a teenager in Canada. I just started my grade nine year. I do NOT see these things in my high school. We never get metal detectors or police walking around. And we never have shootings. No one at widdifeild has ever been killed by another student. I understand the drug thing, it's the same here. But do you think with less rules, were better teenagers. I mean we're free to be who we want here, I wake up wanting to go to school.
@RedNymph234 yup i once had a substitute teacher and she would let us do anything like a friend of mine asked to go to the bathroom she said sit down shut up work and when she told me to shut up and not everyone else i said no...shut up everyone else just froze i got suspended...
had an armed guard at my public highschool but i can tell you that all the trouble was caused by violent rebellious students and not by too much force, if anything they could have been stricter. additionally, ADHD is an actual condition, my brother and i have it and there is a definite difference between you on the drugs and off them. the higher number of ritalin perscriptions can be accounted to a MUCH higher population than france, just simple statistics.
I am VERY against the BS of SCHOOLS that feel they have the authority to decide that someone Else's kid should take a certain drug. And all the little symptoms they say are ADD symptoms are just things that annoy the majority of teachers. I had one teacher who text, listen to our ipods, etc. and the principal and Administrators were always trying to catch that. But he had the highest percentage of students pass the Exit Exam so, maybe loosening up can be a good thing.
I missed the metal detectors, Aderol, Ritalin era by one year. I do have ADD/dyslexia, I was simply given harder math problems etc. Also, I played sports and was in the band and I had chores @ home daily. So I was occupied.. Amazing!
when i have a kid ima ask them if they use drugs and 0 tolerance policys things; ad get a fking doctors note for going to the bathroom when ever he or she wants ; cuz my teachers are so fking retarded and controls me when i should pee or not so i went tot he doctor and said they dont let me sometimes and he gave me a note :D
Aye aye aye. Police state. This is all part of the strategy to make school so bad that people won't want it anymore. One be one, the extremist radicals are trying to destroy every institution we have as a common wealth. Once the common is destroyed and the wealth pillaged, they will have the dictatorship they want. This is all part of the cultural war the extremists have going on. It's easier to control a population that isn't educated. This is a war on culture. They are preparing the kids for p
My school's zero tolerance policy works like that one guy described. For example, two kids got in a fight. The one that didn't start it and got his ass pounded got one day suspension and the guy who started it got 3 days. On the other hand, one kid threatened his friend as a joke cause he owed him money and was suspended as well. All in all, zero tolerance policies are completely stupid.
This is sick. I don't believe in home schooling but I'm terrified of sending my daughter to public school. She's so bright and energetic I know she'll face problems. It's not right at all.
@FireRoseX5 Just going to teacher parent meetings will be more then a lot of parents do. Just do quality control on them. Ask what continuing education they have done lately. Ask them questions about your daughter they could only know if they are paying attention. If they fail your tests, find someone who pleases the both of you and don't got give up until then.
it almost seemed unfair when the other kids had adderal, cause they would always get good grades, especially when they didn't get good grades before they were put on adderal
i was a drug user in high school, but i was not put on adderal like everyone of my friends. everyone in high school and there parents knew that adderal will help u get ur work done and actually get a good grade. it didn't matter for me b/c all my friends were prescribed so much they could give me my own dose every day of school. it's not only teacher's and parent's who are trying to get the kids on adderal, the kids want it to so they can get good grades and a good buzz!! win win situation!!
@fairyprincess1234 that's great and all but look into how muc h they are paid in other countries. 70k would be UNDER what they paid german teachers 10 years ago.
I know first hand just how bad this is.I dropped out my high school where the average student was middle to low income.I always had a problem with dictating teachers.I was suspended for not getting a teacher a cup of water.I finally had enough when I received detention,followed by expulsion , for going to the faculty bathroom, because my school locks the bathroom after hours and i had nowhere to go after detention. I have my GED now less then a year away from my bachelor.The system is broken.
@SAR5 Good for you for getting your GED though. You didn't let it break you. The authority games a teacher is able to play with students they are supposedly training to be adults is ridiculous. High school should be more structured like college courses where the students picks their classes and it's up to them to get enough credit to graduate.
Thank you and I couldn't agree with you more.The problem is the system, yes ,it was my trials with teachers that ultimately lead to my decision to leave for good.But not all teachers are like this,as a matter of fact, I still speak with 4 damn good teachers from high school that felt the same way i did.They see this as a State issue as they mandate the curriculum alienating the youth.But of course if the school did otherwise, they would lose state funding ,aka, money. Money>kids
Holy shit, they give kids drugs to make them achieve better in the US? Bloody hell, that's insane. This is the first I've ever heard of such a barbaric practice.
In my school I am treated like a chriminal. I dropped a class resently and I was drunk with power because I could piss and eat when I wanted to during that block. The secritaries always asume the worst and treat you like crap.
I sent a story to TYT about a school district in starkville,MS that is trying to pass a school district code that requires students to wear uniforms for safety....SAFETY!...WTF?
That depends on gang activity. Uniforms keep them from identifying them selfs as gang members. Waring a red flag out there back pocket for instance.
If you don't have gang activity then why do they need to push this. When I was in school 98 -00 we had the mesh backpack rule. This hides guns how? If I where to bring a gun I would just concel it in a binder! How about just curbing bullyizm and the outcast will hot bring a gun! BTW Ritalin does work. But it is WAY OVER USED.
No, there is not gang activity other than like there might be a fist fight every 2-4 months...seriously...this school is pretty tame....mostly cause there are security cameras and the school usually has police officers visit during certain hours....
No, their safety reason has nothing to do with gangs...they want it so they can identify students...but anyone with caki pants and a black shirt can walk right into the school
If you saw how bad the uniforms looked you would switch opin
Prison uniforms anyone? If I where you I would get as many kids as possible to show up it bright orange jump suits to call attention to the matter. You'd probably get on the national news.
In the UK, the majority of schools have a uniform of some kind. At mine, all students at and below GCSE level (ages 11-16) have to wear black trousers, white shirt and a black jumper bearing the school logo.
A-Level students (ages 16-18) like myself don't have to wear a uniform, however, as it is a choice whether or not you stay on after GCSE, so they see you as more mature.
Here, the uniform probably costs about £25-£30 ($40-$50) for the jumper and the rest is just bought from any clothes shop for maybe an extra £30-so about £80 (about $140) in total. I've never come across anyone unable to afford it, so presumably either your area is quite poor or else it's a lot more expensive to buy. I'm guessing the latter.
no, see this town isn't exactly rich...a lot of students have to go on free or reduced lunch because they simply can't offord to give up $2.10 everyday...
So, if they can't offord lunch..then I doubt they can offord 5-6 uniforms...
The area isn't like seriously poor...just that there is indeed a lot of poverty...but we are recovering...but...with this...the town won't recover...see,there is a high percentage of poor parents with children here,and honestly,uniforms are bad
My 2nd grade teacher didn't let me go to the bathroom despite me begging to go. And as sure as sugar is sweet I pissed my pants.
I didn't find it funny at the time. And now I know that if I didn't either piss my pants or get suspended for disobeying the teacher I would have permenantly damaged my kidneys.
That's as close as I ever want to get to facism or prison. Kids aren't husks, they aren't small adults, they have a different way of viewing the world and even they can see this is wrong.
Yeah they're chemical structure is different until your body metabolizes the drug. And way to brag about how much money you don't make. Now I'm done with this conversation because you've just proven your arrogance.
"Demographics: While use of Ritalin has declined in recent years, prescription patterns involving similar drugs have soared, primarily due to growing demand within the United States. In 2005, 1.9 million U.S. prescriptions were written for Ritalin, while prescriptions for Adderall-XR and Concerta totalled 8.7 million and 8.2 million, respectively. During that same year, use of methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine figured into 7,873 U.S. emergency-room visits."
yup zero tolerance is a load of crap0. at my school you get beat up an d even if you push the other person away to avoid getting ur ass kicked you go to jail too.

When I was in the 2nd grade we had a show and tell just after Christmas break. They told us to bring in our favorite toy. So I brought in a set of laser tag guns. They didn't even look like real guns they were red and blue and wires sticking out of them. They were going to expel me unless I allowed them to confiscate my toys. WTF!! I was like 8. I don't think I can cause many deaths with an infrared light beam!!

I think smaller classes work better. At my school each class has about 17 kids each. My grade has 61 kids. So many kids are going to leave next year because they want to go somewhere different for high school. A lot of them hate the fact that at our school the classes are so small, but I think it works best. You get a lot of attention from the teachers, and individuality and creativity are encouraged here. I get into slap fights with my friends everyday, and my friends wrestle all the time.

When I was growing up, when kids couldn't stay still and acted out in class, they were moved into special ed classes. Those classes were much smaller, maybe 10-12 kids and they got the special attention they needed. Now we don't have special ed classes because our grading system is fucked where you basically have to be retarded to get get a D and the only way to fail is not show up.

I'm 23 and I'm on dex, a common treatment for ADHD. If you take magnesium along with it in decent amounts you don't end up with physical or psychological dependence on it. Can take it for multiple months in a row then forget to take it for a week straight without any negative effect other than eventually noticing I can't slow down and focus on something. I have an almost OCD like need to be multi tasking without it. I don't think the medication is evil... Helps a lot for me.

I graduated High School last year. We had to all wear IDs and if you were caught without your ID proudly displayed then you were forced to buy a new one - no exceptions. If you didn't you'd be expelled. There are cameras everywhere and cops patrol the entire area - one on a segway. Authority's word is always taken over a students. It was hell, I almost dropped out because of all the bullshit. Nobody else seemed to recognize what was going on.

(Cont'd) You're going to hang out with your friends, of course. But later during two-hour stretches of class, you'll probably have to use the bathroom! Schools are really evil like that, and I'm glad that now that I'm in college, I don't have to ask anyone permission - I just walk out of class and go to the bathroom.
SquealingBladder 1 year ago 2
I went to school in the 90's. In elementary school, I had a few incidents of peeing my pants because it had been so drilled into my brain to not go to the bathroom during class. The school's argument was that we shouldn't go during class because we're given breaks. But what would you rather spend your break doing? Making a trip to the bathroom when you don't really have to go, which is going to cost you a good chunk of time (at least it does if you're female), or hang out with your friends?

I find it unreal that people think installing cameras into schools will prevent something like Columbine from happening. Columbine HAD cameras in the halls, the library, the lunchroom, etc. That's why we have video footage of the attack. It's the same failed logic behind IDs. Sure, maybe it helps for people not at the school that might come to hurt people, but it does nothing to stop a student from committing violence yet children have to wear them all the time. We need better schools.

I am VERY against the BS of SCHOOLS that feel they have the authority to decide that someone Else's kid should take a certain drug. And all the little symptoms they say are ADD symptoms are just things that annoy the majority of teachers. I had one teacher who text, listen to our ipods, etc. and the principal and Administrators were always trying to catch that. But he had the highest percentage of students pass the Exit Exam so, maybe loosening up can be a good thing.

That depends on gang activity. Uniforms keep them from identifying them selfs as gang members. Waring a red flag out there back pocket for instance.
If you don't have gang activity then why do they need to push this. When I was in school 98 -00 we had the mesh backpack rule. This hides guns how?

In the UK, the majority of schools have a uniform of some kind. At mine, all students at and below GCSE level (ages 11-16) have to wear black trousers, white shirt and a black jumper bearing the school logo.
A-Level students (ages 16-18) like myself don't have to wear a uniform, however, as it is a choice whether or not you stay on after GCSE, so they see you as more mature.

here there is no choice....
and I'm not sure if you caught this but...the uniforms affect the WHOLE school district...that's grades Kindergarden all the way up to 12th grade...
The main problem is that most people here can't offord it
The uniforms for 1 kid costs to much...and if you have more than 1 student...you're screwed...
the main problem is that "surveys" were made for this idea but the "surveys" didn't see any media until a week before the final count...
Jarethenator 1 year ago
You can't afford it? How much does it cost?
Here, the uniform probably costs about £25-£30 ($40-$50) for the jumper and the rest is just bought from any clothes shop for maybe an extra £30-so about £80 (about $140) in total. I've never come across anyone unable to afford it, so presumably either your area is quite poor or else it's a lot more expensive to buy. I'm guessing the latter.

"Demographics: While use of Ritalin has declined in recent years, prescription patterns involving similar drugs have soared, primarily due to growing demand within the United States. In 2005, 1.9 million U.S. prescriptions were written for Ritalin, while prescriptions for Adderall-XR and Concerta totalled 8.7 million and 8.2 million, respectively. During that same year, use of methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine figured into 7,873 U.S. emergency-room visits."
