Summary: | The text points out the delicate problem of inadequate treatment of pupils by teachers. Such treatment may include insults, verbal aggression, sarcasm, but also the double meaning of the message in which it is hard to prove violation of pupils’ personality. Although characteristics of desirable relationship of teachers toward children are specified by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Law on Foundations of the Education and Upbringing System, as well as by the Protocol for Protection of Children and Students from Violence, Abuse and Neglect in Educational Institutions, verbal aggression is still present, but often unrecognized as a form of violation of pupils’ rights - right to respect of personality and right to development. The text describes an attempt, almost an experiment, in the form of workshop model that can contribute to recognition of this problem and help in finding constructive ways to overcome it.
