Happily, there is an antidote for student violence. It is intellectual fulfillment ?the discovery of fascinating knowledge under the guidance of a teacher one truly admires. Such was the formula at England's 14th century colleges, the seeds of Oxford and Cambridge, where a mere dozen students lived and learned together with a single master. In the early 20th century, U.S. colleges forestalled violence by offering elective courses and extravagant athletics.

"What I must do in the weeks that follow," warns his interrogator before applying the autobiographical wringer, "is find your moment of worst pain. . .during...
Community schools have bolstered community power and education in more tangible ways as well. All of them hire and pay community and parent aides, some as classroom assistants, other as full time teachers. The practice not only brings federal and suburban (gift) money into ghettos, but often encourages uneducated ghetto residents to return to school. The Roxbury Community School offers night courses in which Northeastern and B.U. teachers help parents toward high school diplomas to teacher certification...
