The renowned educational scientist Hafeneger addresses the issue of shame and the deliberate humiliation of adolescents and children by educators. He passionately advocates for a new school culture: a professional culture of recognition. In educational institutions, there are various subtle forms of verbal and gestural violence that manifest as shaming. Children and adolescents experience this when they are exposed, ridiculed, showcased, discriminated against, degraded, belittled, and ostracized by educators and social workers. The author describes the forms and consequences in everyday educational settings, summarizes the discussion on shame and humiliation, and presents recent empirical findings, particularly relevant to schools. It also becomes clear that, on one hand, there are instances of children being shamed.
