my thoughts on that are centered around school shootings because that's the reason schools are adding fences. to address the points you mentioned though, during my senior year when we had a fully constructed fence people still skipped school all the time (same people that always were) so the fence did not help. the whole custody thing is better solved by the parent that should have custody letting the school know about the situation at which point the school will have a legal obligation to ensure the child's safety. shootings aside, this leaves only making kids feel like prisoners for potential changes the fence could make.
I think you got what I meant twisted.
Its sad that thats where American thinking HAS to go because America had 69 victims and 12 shooters dead in 300+ incidents last year. Australia has had 6 incidents and 2 deaths since 1991 and our schools have fences too.
Theres dozens of reasons outside of shootings that schools may want to control access and yeah it does look like a prison and it is sad.
