Spare the Rodtraces the history of discipline in schools and its
ever increasing integration with prison and policing, ultimately
arguing for an approach to discipline that aligns with the moral
community that schools could and should be. In Spare the Rod,
historian Campbell F. Scribner and philosopher Bryan R. Warnick
investigate the history and philosophy of America's punishment and
discipline practices in schools. To delve into this controversial
subject, they first ask questions of meaning. How have concepts of
discipline and punishment in schools changed over time? What
purposes are they supposed to serve? And what can they tell us
about our assumptions about education? They then explore the
justifications. Are public school educators ever justified in
punishing or disciplining students? Are discipline and punishment
necessary for students' moral education, or do they fundamentally
have no place in education at all? If some form of punishment is
justified in schools, what ethical guidelines should be followed?
The authors argue that as schools have grown increasingly
bureaucratic over the last century, formalizing disciplinary
systems and shifting from physical punishments to forms of spatial
or structural punishment such as in-school suspension, school
discipline has not only come to resemble the operation of prisons
or policing, but has grown increasingly integrated with those
institutions. These changes and structures are responsible for the
school-to-prison pipeline. They show that these shifts disregard
the unique status of schools as spaces of moral growth and
community oversight, and are incompatible with the developmental
environment of education. What we need, they argue, is an approach
to discipline and punishment that fits with the sort of moral
community that schools could and should be.
