Schools are prisons, to which children are sentenced by compulsory education and truancy laws. School-prisons may be used to serve the following purposes: teaching literacy and mathematics—a goal that can be met in six years, or by the time a child is 12; vocational education or preparation for a higher education—goals that are not justified, and in fact, are hindered by, compulsion; social control,which requires and justifies compulsion and is antithetical to giving teenagers a choice about school attendance.

Using schools as institutions for social control makes them de facto criminal-psychiatric facilities, depriving children of liberty and, in some cases, labeling them with a psychiatric diagnosis in order to facilitate current and future social control.
