Everyone who has ever been to school knows that school is prison, but almost nobody beyond school age says it is. It's not polite. We all tiptoe around the truth because admitting it would make us seem cruel and would point a finger at well-intentioned people doing what they believe to be essential. . . .

Another difference, of course, is that we put adults in prison because they have committed a crime, while we put children in school because of their age. — Peter Gray
