ABSTRACT
Educational wounds are injuries to the feelings of learners during experiences in school or in situations involving learning or related to school. Sometimes these injuries are so traumatic that they may affect students’ outlook on school and learning and their experiences beyond school. Wounds are not a new phenomenon. Kozol (1967) discovered teachers and administrators destroying the hearts and minds of students with forced compliance, authoritarian approaches to teaching, punishment, and ridicule when students refused to conform. Olson (2009) reignited this conversation directly coining the term educational wounding.
