Abstract

Despite S. Freud's recognition of man's tendency towards aggression & violence, our educ'al system proceeds as if these tendencies exist neither in society nor in man. Therefore, our children do not receive any help from our Sch's in recognizing the omnipresence of the tendency to act with violence, nor in techniques for dealing with it in constructive ways. Examples are presented on how educ in reading, for example, could proceed much more successfully if our teachers would take cognizance of children's fascination with thoughts of violence & aggression, & teach them both to recognize this & to deal with it. HA.
