Schools under Surveillancegathers together some of the very best researchers studying surveillance and discipline in contemporary public schools. Surveillance is not simply about monitoring or ...tracking individuals and their dataùit is about the structuring of power relations through human, technical, or hybrid control mechanisms. Essays cover a broad range of topics including police and military recruiters on campus, testing and accountability regimes such as No Child Left Behind, and efforts by students and teachers to circumvent the most egregious forms of surveillance in public education. Each contributor is committed to the continued critique of the disparity and inequality in the use of surveillance to target and sort students along lines of race, class, and gender.
Asking fundamental and often uncomfortable questions about the nature and purposes of formal education, this book explores the three main ways of looking at the relationship between formal education, ...individuals and society:
that education improves society
that education reproduces society exactly as it is
that education makes society worse and harms individuals.
Whilst educational policy documents and much academic writing and research stresses the first function and occasionally make reference to the second, the third is largely played down or ignored.
In this unique and thought-provoking 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 internationally 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. The book both provides detailed evidence of such forms of violence and sets out an analysis of schooling that explains why they occur. In contrast, the final chapter explores existing alternative forms of education which are aimed at the development of democracy and peace.
This book should be read by anyone involved in education - from students and academics to policy-makers and practitioners around the world.

El acoso escolar provoca graves efectos en quienes se ven implicados, especialmente en las víctimas. Entre ellas, aquellas que viven estos episodios de forma prolongada son quienes manifiestan más ...consecuencias negativas. Para luchar contra este problema, el alumnado pone en marcha diferentes estrategias de afrontamiento que les permiten detener o sobrellevar estas situaciones y mitigar sus efectos. Este estudio pretende analizar el impacto del programa Asegúrate en las estrategias de afrontamiento usadas por las víctimas. En este trabajo participaron 3,428 alumnos de secundaria obligatoria (48.9% chicas) pertenecientes a 20 centros educativos. Los resultados de ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostraron cómo el programa Asegúrate mejora las estrategias de afrontamiento que usa el alumnado general y victimizado. Estos cambios en el afrontamiento de la victimización ocurren en las ex víctimas y no entre las víctimas estables. La eficacia del programa para la mejora del uso efectivo de las estrategias de afrontamiento queda evidenciada, aunque no se vieron reducidas las estrategias de evitación, siendo estas las menos efectivas. Se discuten razones que expliquen estos resultados e implicaciones para el diseño de programas de prevención e intervención.
