| Abstract: | Suggests the missing piece in violence-prevention programs is character development through the skills of empathy and self-discipline. Notes that to nurture such qualities in young people, schools must help them learn basic decision-making and perspective-taking skills, delay gratification, learn persistence, develop a set of positive values they can translate into action, and learn to act responsibly. Principles for a moral school community are outlined. (MLH) |
