Abstract
This paper intends to make us reflect on the necessity of approaching the appearance of violence, racism, social isolation and competitivity phenomena in our classrooms. We conceive it not as a problem whose solution arises from educational �technology�, that is: seeking the most efficient didactic procedure (either incorporating transversal subjects and/or attitudinal contents in the curriculum; or devising in a partaken manner the working rules and norms, or using more cooperative methodologies in teaching). In our view the solutions arise rather from the "problematization" of these phenomena (violence, racism, isolation, etc.) within school itself, analyzing the social and power factors underlying, and encouraging a collective compromise. This is a choice in pedagogy that implies the selection of alternative subject matters in the syllabus, the organization of the school as a co-management, teachers� cooperation and political compromise concerning social facts and the student�s moral behaviour.
