Yes, the analogy between school and prison is spot on.
In everyday life, if an environment/person bothers you, you can simply CHOOSE to deal with it if it's worth it or avoid it if it's not.
Schools and prisons are closed systems where the social hierarchy inevitably gets established and constantly contested.
As someone who has been on both sides of the game telling kids not to fight back is counterproductive. If the situation is handled correctly it can become an incredible opportunity for growth.
