A Fifth-Grader Is Accused of Trying to Poison Her Principal.

Harrington-Lueker, Donna

Executive Educator, v13 n6 p25-26 Jun 1991

When youth lack a value system, violence becomes an acceptable activity with no need for accountability. The traditional close-knit family that taught youngsters right from wrong and expected them to act accordingly has disappeared. Ameliorative school programs in South Carolina and Chicago are described. A sidebar describes Robert Coles's 1989 research on ethically adrift students. (MLH)
