Violence, effects and alternatives of teachers and secondary students, a structural framework
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the participation of high school teachers in Morelos (Mexico), we researched violences from the different realms of its actors’ everyday lives: the neighborhood, family, school and the classroom, as well as their effects in the structures of corresponding social relations. Therefore, in this article, we explore the different manifestations of violence that individuals face or express in the school context, as well as some of their social and educational effects. Additionally, we present early results from an intervention performed in the way of ‘peer accompaniment’ designed to lower rates of educational desertion and lagging. Finally, we propose schools based on ‘social cooperation networks’ as a way to deal with structural and contextual factors that superimpose themselves on schools, as well as a way to build conviviality based on the protection of life.
