Voices We Want to Hear and Voices We Don't.
Johnston, Peter H.; Nicholls, John G.
Theory into Practice, v34 n2 p94-100 Spr 1995
This article discusses theories about knowledge and schooling and describes democratic classrooms. Students need empowerment to have a voice in curriculum design and governance. Schools that foster student voice must establish conditions for democratic talk in class. Students must be taught to respect others; they cannot be allowed to denigrate others. (SM)
