Discipline in the Classroom
"You 're nothing but a wuss. Your mama ain 't here to help you now so why don 't you stand and fight me like a man…. That 's right, saying nothing is going to make the situation better.

Mrs. Wilson got upset, the other school children endured constant harassment, and the children responsible for this harassment got lost in the system.

This trend has been growing steadily in our nation 's classrooms, and recent incidences like that of Columbine High School remind us that angry children become everyone 's problem if no one reaches out to them. cal1966, please do not redistribute this work.

Detention, suspension, and expulsion remain popular methods for dealing with discipline, but these methods serve only to remove rather than to solve the problem. Multicultural education stimulates the children to incorporate their own life experiences into what they learn and makes them active participants in their own learning process. Multicultural education serves to help bridge gaps between different classes, races, and genders. Not a seemingly easy task, drastic measures are
