Similarities + differences between prison and high school?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Yeah, well MY high school, while literally designed by an architect who specialized in prisons and was frequently mistaken for a prison by people new to the area, was organizationally set up like a public education facility in an extremely wealthy and paranoid nation.

I think we went to the same school.

You went to school in Hawai'i?

Kansas, hawai, when you get down to brass tacks, what's the difference?

Schools in Hawaii teach science.

In all actuality Kansas has good science classes. We have ALOT of corn. Which means we have a lot of people going into agricultural sciences.

What I remember from 5-7 grade, they're big on environmental science, too.  I remember a few class trips to one river or anothdr and doing things like taking water samples.

One of my favorite science teachers was when I was in KS, and we got to take care of animals (I got a vole), and we learned about evolution and real science shit.

According to this article, the Kansas school system overall ranks at about 14th in the nation for quality... much better than, say, Oregon, which is notoriously one of the worst in the country. https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-best-schools/5335/
