...a good atmosphere and serenity are central to the wellbeing and success of children at school

 

...it's the adults who must lead by example, therefore they have to refrain from exercising any form of violence

 

...that a well-trained and motivated teacher can do without any form of corporal or psychological punishment of his pupils, knowing that such behaviour would be detrimental to the full development of the child's personality and potential

 

...that the smooth running of a school depends on good relations between all persons involved – teachers, pupils and parents – governed by dialogue, mutual respect and encouragement, as well as a positive discipline combining kindness and firmness
