Parents and teachers need to be able to do something called "maintaining discipline" with respect to children, and society needs to assert its authority over law breakers through the courts. Public anxiety is increasingly expressed over both breakdown of discipline in schools and the failure of governments to maintain law and order. But what is all the anxiety about? John Wilson argues that much of the trouble that we experience in practice derives from confusion about our goals as well as about the relevant psychological and socialogical facts. His study combines careful philosophical reflection on issues of meaning and social morality with a highly practical focus on problem-solving. As such, the book will be invaluable for teachers, parents, judges, magistrates and all ordinary citizens who are concerned to combine humanity with effectiveness in the estblishment and maintenance of good order in any context.

Educators need a balance between discipline theory and its practice in the classroom. This is especially important in today's education climate, with its increased demands for teacher accountability. Tauber has designed his book for both those who are new to teaching and those who are already seasoned teachers but who have had little, if any, course work in discipline. The book presents several sound frameworks that readers can use to evaluate the six tried-and-true discipline models (Dobson, Canters, Jones, Dreikurs, Glasser, and Gordon) that follow. All of these models work. Teachers need to select, learn, and implement a discipline model that best reflects how they feel the students should be treated. This book can help.

Educational Law provides a comprehensive survey of the legal problems and issues that confront school administrators and policymakers. If there is a greater likelihood of litigation or error in a particular area of professional practice, the discussion is more extensive. The book is organized in accordance with the author's belief that students need to read cases to understand the subtlety and richness of the law, but for legal neophytes, cases without discussion and interpretation are often difficult to comprehend. Thus the text both explains the important concepts and principles of education law and presents court decisions to illuminate them. By employing this structure, the book combines the strengths of the traditional casebook and those of the legal treatise. It also discusses the implications of the law for educational policy and practice. Key features include the following: *Presentation --To aid comprehension, technical legal terms are carefully explained when first introduced and discussions of complex topics move logically from overview to elaboration of important details to summary of key topics and principles. *Cases --By integrating carefully edited cases into the analysis of legal issues, the book exposes students with little or no background in law to the subtlety and richness of legal thinking. *New Material --The third edition incorporates extensive treatment of new cases and legislation of the last five years. Topics that have been added or significantly expanded include: the No Child Left Behind Act, students rights--especially in the areas of free speech and search and seizure, vouchers and government assistance to private and religious schools, employment discrimination, racial and sexual harassment of students and school employees, affirmative action and voluntary school integration, equity and adequacy in school finance, issues relating to use of the Internet, and the law relating to special student populations. The table of cases contains about 250 more entries than in the second edition.
