With the implementation of ¡§Representative Politics,¡¨ people¡¦s representatives have many out-of-control behaviors(i.e. throwing stuff, locking the door.... etc.). Such phenomena are frequently seen after Taiwan became a democratic country. Their disappointing behaviors distort people¡¦s thought on politicians. Therefore, people hope to amend the deficiency of ¡§Representative politics¡¨ by ¡§Referendum.¡¨ Referendum, based on ¡§Representative politics,¡¨ is the display of ¡§Direct democracy.¡¨ It is another way of displaying democracy when people¡¦s representatives fail to carry out people¡¦s will. Nowadays democratic countries around the world practice referendum to resolve important domestic issues, and so does Taiwan. The Legislative Yuan adopted ¡§Referendum law¡¨ in November 27th, 2003, which provides a basis for the people when practicing referendum. In November 15th, 2008, Kaohsiung Teacher Association held a referendum named ¡§small class referendum case of elementary and junior high school in Kaohsiung.¡¨ Based on the Referendum law and Local Referendum Self-government Act, it was the first eligible local referendum case proposed by local societies. Although it was finally vetoed because of a low turnout( lower than 50%), Kaohsiung City achieved much progress on the development of democracy. Using Literature Review Method and Inductive Method, this paper aims at researching case of local referendum, taking ¡§small class referendum case of elementary and junior high school in Kaohsiung ¡¨ for example. Through the basic principles of the administrative law, the administrative organization, the administrative limits of authority, the administrative relief and the administrative supervision, this paper analyzes issues related to the small class referendum case. Finally I conclude the development concept of Taiwan local referendum, providing some helpful advice for the government.

The purpose of this study is to portray conflict managing associated with children in a small class and what problems they may face each day at school. What types of conflicts and what consequences do teachers practice? This study is based on these following questions: Is there any difference for solving/measure for students with psychosocial problems or ADHD in a conflict or does teachers still works with the same methods? What types of conflict solving does schools use? What is important to consider with students in a small class who has psychosocial problems and ADHD to prevent conflicts? Summary: To answer my questions in this study, I´ve used qualitative methods, interviews and observations. I have used my cellphone for recording the interviews so that all content from the informers are accurate. My theoretical points concerns on having strict rules both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers in school use first one method in conflict solving, a need based approach, which means that teachers first listens to the involved students and interacts thereafter. Every school in Sweden has a document called Plan for equal treatment, which guides teachers on how to deal with conflicts. They also use other rapports such as arrangement plan and incident rapport. The conclusion of my study is that children with psychosocial problems do feel better harmony with strict rules. They need guidance and goals so they know what to do and what is expected of them. If the rules bend, it is more likely that conflicts and other disorder in the classroom emerges.
