and l'm a firm bclicvcr in the cquality of student* and teachers. Yct having chiidten make binding decisions on important matters is like saying thev‘re maturÄ™ and experienccd enough to make such decisions. I‘m afraio that a a bit of a far-fetched notkm.

Speaker 3 There was this radio thing about Korczak recently and we listened to that - the guys from the school councit and I. So Ite had this idea aboot pcer courts at school and we iust couldn‘1 belicve it. l mean lhere's no school that wouldn't bcnefit from a court like that. If student*, couid judge one another and take responsibility into thcir own hands. then we could do something about things like buliying and theft at school. I mean who knows bctter than the studenta who does what and which punishmcnt would really work? And most of aft - it would make tcachers listen and respect our opinions and fcclings. I wish our sthool would allow us sometbing like that.

speaker 4 Wewere ad surpnsed at Korczak'* instruction to gather in the X-ray lab. The coctor arriyed, bringing along a fourycarold from his orphanage. The Xray machinÄ™ was switched on and we saw the boy's heart beating wikfly. Me was so frightencd by the strange people. the dark room and the machinÄ™. Speaking softÅ‚y, Korcza* told us: 'Don'! cver forget this sight. How wikfly a cht:d‘s heart beats when he is frightcned.

It does even morÄ™ so when the child reacts to an adult's angcr. not to mention the fearof punishment.'Then. heading for the baorwith the boy's hand in his. he added, ‘That is all for today!' That tesson was impnntcd on our minds foreyer.
