Part B
I think I'm going to focus my paper on some aspect of the way schools are run/function. In particular looking at school safety and how it's a form of school discipline. The students point of view and how they see school as a prison and feel controlled by the teachers. As well as looking at the teachers point of view.
School discipline is important because it maintains order and safety but do some schools take it too far? Taking a look at how disciplinary measures affect the students, teachers and the school as a whole. This also relates to the struggle of power in schools.
