Educate, Medicate, or Litigate? - What Teachers, Parents, and Administrators Must Do About Student Behavior (Paperback)

Robert C. DiGiulio, author, educator, and expert in student behavior, dares to suggest that schools and community can reestablish themselves as preventive forces in the face of the growing problem of antisocial behavior and violence in schools. DiGiulio outlines how communities?not the government, doctors, or lawyers?can offer schools vital and concrete support to play a preventive rather than reactive role in keeping students safe.

The author examines negative psychosocial behaviors from their roots to their eventual eruptions within the context of current research, best practice, and sound administrative actions. Topics include:

• Ten persistent myths about schools and violence
• To medicate or incarcerate
• The downside of legalism
• The role of the home
• Best school-level preventive responses to antisocial behavior
• Best community-level preventive responses to antisocial behavior
• The force within each community

An essential resource for anyone concerned about the role of school and community in creating safe environments for today?s youth. This book has been written for both the professional and the layman, for the student and practitioner, for the person who works in the schools each day, and for the informed taxpayer. Ultimately, it has been written for all our children.
