Children under fire: the role of the schools.
Responses of teachers and children in Northern Ireland and observations in other areas of the world beset by the daily threat of violence and death are reported. Respondents showed a deep concern about the role of schools in relation to children who have grown up with warfare in the streets. The concept of school-as-sanctuary is discussed in light of its effects on the processes of teaching, learning, and the emotional development of students.
