With levels of violence and poverty rising around them, San Francisco middle school students find social and emotional healing -- and a new readiness to learn -- in a bold program of daily meditation.

Student Training - Vision
Training in vision centered life can prevent students from violence and suicide
By Varghese Alengaden
Indore: Teachers in India seem to be at the receiving end of violence these days. Every other day, media channels report students from around the country attacking teachers, even killing some of them.
The nation was shocked in early February when a ninth grader stabbed to death his teacher in a Salesian school in Chennai, southern India. The 15-year-old was reportedly angry that the teacher had informed his parents about his poor academic performance.
If schools can help teenagers formulate a vision for their lives, set goals and focus on these goals, they would neither indulge in violence nor commit suicide.
