The Moral Dimensions of Teaching and Classroom Discipline.

Edwards, Clifford H.

American Secondary Education, v28 n3 p20-25 Spr 2000

School discipline deters development of a moral learning community. Punishment administered for infractions evokes resistance, resentment, and other negative consequences. Children need to control their own lives and evade excessive control by others. Recommendations for developing student self-direction, resiliency, and self-awareness are offered. (Contains 26 references.) (MLH)
