The defense of violence by families is hindering educational efforts at schools in Chile. Rosario Corvalán analyzes threats made against the director of the Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño, and the subsequent reaction of a group of parents who blamed her for the arrest of students involved in incidents. The author questions the justification of these violent behaviors and the presentation of violence as bravery. This normalization poses consequences for school climate and public education. Corvalán warns that such actions obstruct the educational process and undermine the authority necessary for effective schooling. The piece highlights a concerning trend where parental support actively works against the school’s ability to maintain order and provide a safe learning environment for all students at the Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño. The column stresses the need to address and challenge this acceptance of violence.
