Description

From the inner-city to the suburbs, thousands of school childrenare being systematically subjected to mandatory classroom policieswhich inflict both physical and emotional harm. Hundreds of schoolofficials from across the country have been found guilty of sexualharassment, the illegal use of undercover agents, strip searches, corporal punishment, verbal abuse, punitive isolation, and otherforms of institutional abuse. In Dangerous Schools, Professor IrwinHyman and Pamela Snook, passionate advocates against theinstitutional maltreatment of children, reveal exactly what isgoing on in our nation's schools and what we must do aboutit.

"This book makes a strong argument against school abuses and offersclear and proven strategies for change. It will appeal to parentswho suspect that their children have been maltreated by educatorsand for advocates who desire a blueprint for socialchange."---James Garbarino, codirector, Family Life DevelopmentCenter, Cornell University; author, What Children Can Tell Us
