Civility in Schools - McKay School of Education

“Acts of violence are often the result of
an exchange of acts of rudeness that
spiral i l out t of f control. t l Disrespect Di t can l lead d
to bloodshed. By keeping the levels of
incivility down down, we keep the levels of
violence down. . . . If we teach
youngsters y g of all walks of life how to
manage conflict with civility civility-based based
relational skills, we will have a less
uncivil i il society, i t a l less violent i l t one.” ”
