NAIFF, Luciene A. M.. Indisciplina e violência na escola: reflexões no (do) cotidiano. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.02, pp.110-116. ISSN 2177-6210.

Modern society establishes a disciplinary power that organizes social practices in an hierarchical structure. The so called “moral individual” emerges in this context as an “ideal citizen” according to social standards. The school represents an important mechanism to legitimize these practices by creating a model to classify and determine whether a person will be able to “function” in society accordingly or no. Lack of discipline and violence are types of behavior that put this model into question and usually those who apply them will be punished not with violence but with exclusion. Lack of discipline can be understood as a form of questioning the traditional and the established social order. The school instead of silencing these individuals can use these experiences to promote dialogue and participation searching for alternative forms to integrate different ideas and perceptions.

Keywords : Lack of Discipline; Violence; School; Exclusion.
