Dangerous Schools and What You Can Do about Them.
Hyman, Irwin A.; Snook, Pamela A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n7 p489-98,500-01 Mar 2000
Educator violence against students (verbal and physical assaults and the undermining of students' constitutional rights) erodes rather than enhances school safety. Unnecessarily harsh disciplinary practices create a violence-prone climate mirroring U.S. society--the most retributive of Western nations. Democratic classroom practices can help counter youth demonization. (MLH)
