Remedial Civility Training
Benton, Thomas H.
Chronicle of Higher Education, v53 n36 pC2 May 2007
In this article, the author discusses students' disrespectful behavior towards their teachers. However, his larger concern is not just that students behave disrespectfully toward their professors. It is that they are increasingly disrespectful to one another, to the point that a serious student has more trouble coping with the behavior of his or her fellow students than learning the material. In the last few years, the author has become convinced that professors--particularly the ones with tenure--need to find ways to give remedial attention to student behavior, just as they have long done for students who cannot read or write well enough to succeed at college. [Thomas H. Benton is the pen name of William Pannapacker.]
