Abstract

Classroom discipline systems are considered as patriarchal moral systems focused on hyper-individuality and dependent upon rules, consequences, and principles focused through authoritarian structures. Three example systems (Assertive Discipline, Glasser's Control Theory, and Discipline with Dignity) are critiqued using Noddings' analysis of evil and Welch's liberation theology. As an alternative grounding freedom of responsibility is proposed, moved forward through Noddings' mediation and care and Welch's dangerous memory and solidarity with oppressed peoples.
