Gentle Discipline in Violent Times.
Reed, Charlotte; Strahan, David B.
Journal for a Just and Caring Education, v1 n3 p320-34 Jul 1995
Students sometimes choose violence because it pervades their lives, they can't perceive other options, or don't trust adults to protect them. Teachers should drop get-tough responses and develop a gentle stance toward students and tough situations. Gentle discipline implies a code of conduct based on respect, intentionality, optimism, and trust. (34 references) (MLH)
