Democratization of Schools

Literally changes an Authoritarian-Dictatorship system into a Democracy governed by elected representatives. Ends disciplinary practices that put young people in an anti-EMPATHY)humiliating position of powerless dependency while in a critical stage of life for developing their concepts and attitudes of fairness, human rights, personal dignity, equality before the Law, and respecting the rights of others.
TEACHERS: Disciplining a classroom is by far the main cause of teachers attrition-misery. In the frontline of education teachers stand alone and are demanded to exercise control without means of enforcement, in most cases without backing of the system. CHANGE: Teachers are unburdened of sole responsibility for classroom management, and effectively released of tasks required normally of policemen, security personnel, or successful entertainers.
AGGRESSION:Aggressiveness correlates with frustration, that is with felt inability to achieve one's goals by other means. Giving students rights to exercise power legitimately and constructively with peers will lower levels of destructive aggressiveness and violence./
CORRECTION: Punishing usually breeds aggressive response. CHANGE: A shared problem-solving rather than a punishment system. Justice prevails by demanding offenders correct the wrong while sharing power to suggest their-own correction process./ DEMOCRATIZATION: A school can only teach ABOUT Democracy not FOR it, as long as life-experience of teachers and students is dictatorial. CHANGE: Changing the authoritarian power-balance.
