Maria,
I more or less share your definition (socialization is coercive), particularly glaring in Maths. Only realized they could be fun when I decided to unlearn and design my own learning environment to pass first year Statistics. Since then I taught Statistics and quan methods to fellow students, and they all passed by tearing down the unintelligible wall rather than any bright skills of mine. Years have passed by and still Stats are the "daunting ogre" and it's sad to see how many Sociology undergrads are attracted to qual in rejection to Stats & SPSS+, thus re-enacting the false myth of quan- qual confrontation. Fairly common-sense, but shouldn't research goals, variables of study & budget define most appropriate methods rather than any given assumption or preference? Keep up with such fascinating work!

If we include "coercive" in the definition of "violent" then forcing kids learn is an example of violent content. As a math educator, I see a lot of kiddie torture related to my subject. This is also a good example of how varied our definitions of "violent behavior" can be. I meet very few people who share that definition.
