Hi Katherine, very important topic and you did such a great job elaborating. I think that if the root of an issue doesn’t get fixed, then the tree will eventually fall apart. it starts with our schooling, how these children are treated, who will listen to them will determine their path in life. less incarceration more education.
Hi Renee, thank you for your comment! You are absolutely right when you say it starts with schooling. This is where children spend most of their time. If the education provided to them is meant to advance their academic career, we must first ensure children have the tools to acquire the knowledge being offered. This starts with addressing the barriers to education so many students struggle with.
Thank you for your comment Professor Prosperi! Even for social workers, education is so significant. Professionals are encouraged and required to keep up with new and relevant practices and policies. When it comes to students, educators need to be aware of the factors that could be contributing to their students’ academic performance or lack thereof, in school.
Hi Katherine, you did a great job on this poster. I could not agree more that the root of this problem is coming from our education systems. I also think that the zero-tolerance policy needs to be completely eliminated.
Hi Camren, thank you for your comment! Zero-tolerance policies leave no room for growth. Students need to be able to take accountability for their actions and in a lot of instances, students may not be responsible for the circumstances that caused them to get in trouble in the first place. It is important to recognize and address outside forces that are playing roles in the student’s life.
This is really well done, Katherine. Very good explanation of the school to prison pipeline. Agree with your thoughts about eliminating zero tolerance policies. Great work.
Thank you for your comment Professor Landriau! Eliminating zero-tolerance policies will give students a chance to take accountability for actions taken on their part and encourage administrators to identify areas in which they can help students rather than punish them. The school-to-prison pipeline needs to be addressed on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.

I agree, Katherine that for so many issues education is the key. Great job!
