Many have argued that peacemaking or peace work should be more than an intellectual experience—it should be a way of life, reflected in our daily activities, in order to truly have meaning. Because school work is (or should be) a major part of every student's life, it is a natural place to introduce students to this approach. If they can see the benefits of adopting, on a small scale, more peaceful approaches to the way they complete their school work, students may be more receptive, on a large scale, to peacemaking as an alternative to the war metaphors that shape our response to many of our current social problems, such as our wars on crime and wars on drugs. Students who resist peacemaking in some areas, such as in operating our criminal justice system, might give peace a chance in their school work. Once experienced there, they may be encouraged to generalize it to other areas
