Didn't read it, was just skimming the thread. I will read it shortly.

I do not think peace can really be imposed. A cessation of hostilities can be imposed (but I don't really consider that peace- I like the definitions for peace of "harmonious relations, serenity of mind, and inner contentment"). The quality of peace comes from feeling safe in ones personhood, or fulfilled, and this cannot be imposed (imo). I think it is a teachers job to create a safe place for students to fulfill themselves, in ways which do not adversely affect other students. Peace is the combination of the teacher creating safety and the children flourishing in it. Peace is not imposed by a teacher- it can be nurtured, but not imposed. Once peace is imposed, it is no longer peace. Someone in a prison could feel peace- but it comes from the internal aspect of the person- it is certainly not imposed. What guards impose (at best) is order- which is not peace.
