| Summary |
"In this book, Clive Harber argues that while schooling can play a positive role, violence towards children originating in the schools system itself is common, systematic, and widespread and that schools play a significant role in encouraging violence in wider society. Topics covered include physical punishment, learning to hate others, sexual abuse, stress and anxiety, and the militarization of school."--BOOK JACKET |
