I read the article "Indiscipline and sense of shame" of Yves de La Taille, published in "Indiscipline in schools: theoretical and practical alternatives," organized by Professor Julio Groppa Aquino and I recommend this book.
Among the subjects explored in the text is indiscipline in the classroom. In this section of the article, the author presents the thesis that the modern man became more interested in the private space than in the public space. The consequences of this fact, according to DeLa Taille, are: (1) people start to show disregard for the space in question (when, for example, people throw garbage on the ground) and (2) the moral shame tends to give the looks of private sphere, making the "public eye" illegitimate.
At school, the consequence noted by the author is the fact that students come to despise the function (by definition public) of the teacher. The teacher must be imposed by their nature otherwise they can not get anything from their students. The solution proposed by him is to strengthen the student's sense of dignity as a moral being.
In the words of De La Taille, "the school has just a solution: to remember and recall their students and the society as a whole that their main purpose is preparation for citizenship. And to be a citizen, you need solid knowledge, memory, respect for public space, a minimum set of standards for interpersonal relations, and ethical dialogue. There is no democracy if there is complete disregard for public opinion."

Li o artigo "A indisciplina e o sentimento de vergonha" de Yves de La Taille, publicado no livro "Indisciplina na escola: alternativas teóricas e práticas", organizado pelo professor Julio Groppa Aquino e recomendo sua leitura.
Dentre os assuntos abortados no texto está a indisciplina em sala de aula. Nesta seção do artigo, o autor apresenta a tese de que o homem contemporâneo passou a se interessar mais pelo espaço privado do que pelo espaço público. As consequências deste fato, segundo De La Taille são: (1) as pessoas passam a demonstrar descaso pelo espaço em questão (quando, por exemplo, as pessoas jogam lixo no chão) e (2) a vergonha moral tende a considerar os olhares de sua esfera privada, tornando o "olhar público" ilegítimo.
Na escola, a consequência apontada pelo autor é o fato de que os alunos passaram a desprezar a função (pública por definição) do professor. Ou o professor se impõe por suas características próprias ou não consegue nada dos alunos. A solução apontada por ele é reforçar no aluno o sentimento de sua dignidade como ser moral.
Nas palavras de De La Taille, "somente resta à escola uma solução: lembrar e fazer lembrar em alto e bom tom, a seus alunos e à sociedade como um todo, que sua finalidade principal é a preparação para o exercício da cidadania. E, para ser cidadão, são necessários sólidos conhecimentos, memória, respeito pelo espaço público, um conjunto mínimo de normas de relações interpessoais, e diálogo franco entre olhares éticos. Não há democracia se houver completo desprezo pela opinião pública".
Food for thought!!!
