It explores the causes of misbehavior, both inside and outside of school, and emphasizes the importance of understanding students' needs and creating a supportive yet structured environment through a social contract of values, rules, and consequences. The book advocates for proactive prevention, informal interventions, and building strong teacher-student connections to motivate students and address chronic misbehavior, including for those with special needs, while also providing guidance for administrators and navigating challenges like the school-to-prison pipeline. The second source, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, appears to be a fictional work consisting primarily of background images without substantial textual content.
