AGGRESSIVENESS X VIOLENCE IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Faced with the latest events shown in the media and many times witnessed by ourselves in the schools where we work, we observed the need to go deeper into this subject in order to carry out a project that could be useful in the current school. The objective of this project is to draw the attention of professionals to the problem of school aggression and violence and to present suggestions for improving coexistence within the school. As Oliveira and Martins (2006) well mentions, “what happens is that this violence has a lot to do with the discourse of refusal, or even, the lack of finding the right words to give an exact meaning to a wide range of of feelings”. Violence is all kinds of physical and psychological damage caused to others, young people are pointed out as the cause of this violence, but this issue is much more complex. Because to combat this violence that is so common among our youth, we have to research the origin, since young people apply in their school conviviality or those who live at home. Currently schools deal with fights and other aggressive acts through internal norms such as: verbal or formal warning, suspensions, transfers and expulsion of the student. I suggest more dynamic classes with the participation and opinion of the students to organize a field class, formalize an agreement between both on how the school rules will be applied in case of non-compliance with the school's discipline rule.
