TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - The Polish education system and issues of violence JO - Journal of school violence A1 - Wojciechowski, Mirek SP - 119 EP - 130 VL - 4 IS - 1 N2 - Uncontrolled outbursts of violence, of both an individual and group nature, are distinctive elements of social and economic changes occurring in Poland. They affect all social environments and institutions in this country, and unfortunately many people believe in violent solutions of problems (at least as represented in the media). Between aggression and submission, well-fixed in the school environment, there is a space for assertiveness and empathy; its persistent and thoughtful promotion among pupils, school personnel, and parents may be an effective answer to the expectations of further changes in Polish schools.
