Resumen
GOMEZ-NASHIKI, Antonio. Violence and School Management: The Opinion of Elementary School Principals in Colima, Mexico. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2017, n.73, pp.19-40. ISSN 0120-3916. https://doi.org/10.17227/01203916.73rce17.38.
This article analyzes the perception, implications and measures taken by thirteen principals from Public Elementary Schools of five municipalities in Colima to deal with different problems of school violence. As part of the institutional analysis, we conducted in-depth interviews in order to compare the narratives in each case. The main findings show that: management is developed under high pressure, and that it demands immediate solutions to different kinds of problems; support and information for facing school violence are incipient; applying the protocols for dealing with school violent events are not expeditious; they demand more training in topics such as conflict resolution; the actions established by the Social Participation Council are rarely followed; parents do not get involved in the solution to children's problems; and violence produces general discomfort in the institution, which requires a lot of time and money to solve it.
