O potrzebie zachowań etycznych we współczesnej edukacji

In the context of the ongoing transformations of society, politics and manners, the author focuses on the changes observed at school. She points to the violation of speech ethics in formal and informal situations (verbal and physical aggression). She describes and analyses manifestations of linguistic and paralinguistic discrimination, such as volume and modulation of the voice, as well as bodily behavior: gestures, facial and eye expressions. An attempt is made at characterizing the “new” school pupil, the “new” teacher and postulating a “new” educational milieu in which the traditional oppositions <em>I</em> − <em>he</em>/<em>she</em> and <em>we</em> − <em>they</em> will be replaced by one category we meaning <em>I-the teacher and my pupils</em> or <em>I-the pupil, my colleagues and teachers</em>. The author considers communication ethics as a foundation for building interpersonal relations.

The Fiscal Externalities of Charter Schools: Evidence from North Carolina

A significant criticism of the charter school movement is that funding for charter schools diverts money away from traditional public schools. The magnitude of such adverse fiscal externalities depends in part on the nature of state and local funding policies. In this paper, we examine the fiscal effects of charter schools on both urban and nonurban school districts in North Carolina. We base our analysis on detailed balance sheet information for a sample of school districts that experienced substantial charter growth since the statewide cap on charters was raised in 2011. We find a large and negative fiscal impact in excess of $500 per traditional public school pupil in our one urban school district, which translates into an average fiscal cost of about $3,600 for each student enrolled in charter schools. We estimate comparable to somewhat larger fiscal externalities per charter school pupil for two nonurban districts.

Fabricating and Governing the Swedish School Pupil: The Swedish Post-War School Reform and Changing Discourses of Discipline and Behaviour

This article examines the dominant discourses of behaviour and discipline in the debate on schooling and the conduct of school pupils in Swedish professional teacher journals between 1946 and 1962, the formative years of the Swedish comprehensive school. Drawing from the theoretical framework of discourse, governmentality and the fabrication of the subject developed by Michel Foucault, the fabrication and governing of the school pupil is highlighted and analysed. The findings of the study are related to historical research of the period as well as Foucauldian studies where a historical shift of perspectives on discipline and behaviour in the school have been proposed. The result is a detailed analysis of the fabrication and governing of the subject within the dominant discourses of behaviour and discipline during the period, as well as a critical nuancing of the idea of this historical shift.
