Abstract

A case study on school violence was reported in a high school in Aguascalientes. The perspective of managers, teachers, students and relatives was recovered through questionnaires and individual and group interviews. School violence was examined from six dimensions: verbal, physical, psychological, material damage, violence through tics and school bullying, looking for its structural and cultural roots. It was found that while a good climate of relationships is perceived, there are various manifestations of violence in the school, some of which tend to be made invisible as part of the school culture. In addition, when expressions of school violence are naturalized by teachers and managers, the taking of organizational-structural actions to counteract them is inhibited; On the other hand, when they are perceived as serious problems, resources are mobilized to eradicate them.
