Montgomery County Public Schools is in the middle of formally assessing the success of its social justice-inspired approach to conflict resolution in cases of school bullying, violence and hate bias using state-provided metrics.

Data indicates that MCPS efforts to adopt a restorative justice model may not have been effective, while students and parents question the success of its approach to conflict resolution.

The school district describes restorative justice as “an approach to building community, self-care, and conflict resolution.” The approach was first adopted in 2019 after the state passed regulations requiring schools to employ more trauma-informed practices. Within this model, principals can request a member of the central office restorative justice team to be deployed to schools as incidents arise

Restorative justice isn't struggling at all. Parents who lack access to any data are skeptical of these new methods.

Please come to my 4th grade classroom any day, stay for a day or a week, and try repeating that. Make sure you also speak to the students who don’t feel safe. A child brought a knife to school last week and said he was sorry and it was an “accident” that the knife slipped into his bag. Well that’s what he told admin to appease them even after bragging to the students that he had it. He had to stay in the office for 1/2 a day but don’t worry he still got lunch and recess with his scared classmates. The scared class had a circle and was told to understand that it was an accident. The same child beats up other children multiple times a week. The class is told to accept that he is trying to communicate his frustration. To be clear, the frustration he has is that he is being asked to do work. In our grade, there are 3 others that are also scary- 1 in each class. But they go into the halls and create massive havoc.

Teachers are not okay with being told that everything is fixed and fine because we’ve had a circle.

Why do Democrats keep voting for this crap?

Can you ping me to a Republican run area with great schools.

How about you start with some effective consequences for the school violence?

Thank goodness the thug that beat the teacher in FL in going to lock-up for a long time.

I’m just looking for a Republican run area with great schools. Can’t you just list a few?

https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/how-do-states-really-stack-2015-naep

When you normalize for student demographics, Texas is the second best performing state in the US. Indiana is 3rd and Florida is 6th. Mass is easily the best when it comes to public education.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/05/what-are-massachusetts-public-schools-doing-right/483935/

“ The Massachusetts experiment with transforming public education traces back to 1993, when state leaders decided to set high standards, establish a stringent accountability system aimed at ensuring that students from all backgrounds were making progress, and open its doors to charter schools.”

So basically the opposite of what MCPS does.

But Dallas, Austin, Houston are all democratic. I don’t plan to live in the county.

Massachusetts is democratic.

Florida schools are terrible .

I’ll have to research Indiana. Indianapolis and Gary are democratic. Looks like Carmel might be red but they have some anti CRT stuff so I’m not a trumper just a conservative.

As a rule of thumb, if an area is blue, it's schools are good. If it's red, you get terrible schools. Yes, there are a few exceptions but in general the red areas aren't well educated.

Actually, if an area is full of well educated liberals whose children behave and test well, the schools are considered “good”. Can’t get much more blue than Baltimore and DC the schools certainly aren’t good.

The data is fairly conclusive. When looking at the best and worst schools by state. 12/15 of top schools are in blue states while 9/10 of the worst schools are in red states.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education

As another poster said, it’s less about red vs blue and more about economics. Many conservatives live in rural areas and rural areas tend to be poor. Poor families tend to be low achievers. Same thing with inner city families in DC, Baltimore, and Detroit. They do poorly in school because they are poor. Not because they are Democrats.

Wow, a bit racist. They don't have the same opportunities as you had.. both the parents and kids. Check your privilege. Our ES, pre-covid, wouldn't allow parent involvement and the supports they provided to the kids who needed them were minimal at best. Many of us supplemented heavily with private services and worked with our kids at home. However, those private services took everything we had to pay for them and no everyone is willing or able to do that.

DP.. it's not about racism. Whether white or black, red or blue state/county, in general, poor kids from uneducated families don't do as well as in school. They don't have as much family support, nor do the poor schools have the support necessary to plug in the gap.

It’s hard to separate race from class in the US. However it is pretty clear from the research that poor white kids perform slightly better than poor black kids. Probably due to school/teacher quality more than anything. And there is a lot of racism tied to housing patterns and redlining that certainly plays into where experienced teachers end up teaching.

So who gets to be held accountable for this massive blunder within MCPS's leadership? Was RJ Monifa's big bet? I don't think so since it was being implemented before she was appointed, no?

Pat O'Neill - the dead BOE member who messed up MCPS policies for years. Every bad thing happened under her leadership. Such a toad!

These rankings don’t take into account student demographics. When they normalize based on demographics many “high performing” blue states look much worse.

You can put a bunch of affluent white/asian kids into a school with subpar teachers are by most metrics it will look much better than a school with excellent teachers full of black and Hispanic kids.

If you swapped the kids at Whitman with the kids at Kennedy and changed absolutely nothing else, what do you think would happen?

Within this model, principals can request a member of the central office restorative justice team to be deployed to schools as incidents arise

Restorative justice isn't struggling at all. Parents who lack access to any data are skeptical of these new methods.

Please come to my 4th grade classroom any day, stay for a day or a week, and try repeating that. Make sure you also speak to the students who don’t feel safe. A child brought a knife to school last week and said he was sorry and it was an “accident” that the knife slipped into his bag. Well that’s what he told admin to appease them even after bragging to the students that he had it. He had to stay in the office for 1/2 a day but don’t worry he still got lunch and recess with his scared classmates. The scared class had a circle and was told to understand that it was an accident. The same child beats up other children multiple times a week. The class is told to accept that he is trying to communicate his frustration. To be clear, the frustration he has is that he is being asked to do work. In our grade, there are 3 others that are also scary- 1 in each class. But they go into the halls and create massive havoc.

Teachers are not okay with being told that everything is fixed and fine because we’ve had a circle.

Why do Democrats keep voting for this crap?

Can you ping me to a Republican run area with great schools.

How about you start with some effective consequences for the school violence?

Thank goodness the thug that beat the teacher in FL in going to lock-up for a long time.

I’m just looking for a Republican run area with great schools. Can’t you just list a few?

When you normalize for student demographics, Texas is the second best performing state in the US. Indiana is 3rd and Florida is 6th. Mass is easily the best when it comes to public education.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/05/what-are-massachusetts-public-schools-doing-right/483935/

“ The Massachusetts experiment with transforming public education traces back to 1993, when state leaders decided to set high standards, establish a stringent accountability system aimed at ensuring that students from all backgrounds were making progress, and open its doors to charter schools.”

So basically the opposite of what MCPS does.

But Dallas, Austin, Houston are all democratic. I don’t plan to live in the county.

Massachusetts is democratic.

Florida schools are terrible .

I’ll have to research Indiana. Indianapolis and Gary are democratic. Looks like Carmel might be red but they have some anti CRT stuff so I’m not a trumper just a conservative.

As a rule of thumb, if an area is blue, it's schools are good. If it's red, you get terrible schools. Yes, there are a few exceptions but in general the red areas aren't well educated.

Actually, if an area is full of well educated liberals whose children behave and test well, the schools are considered “good”. Can’t get much more blue than Baltimore and DC the schools certainly aren’t good.

The data is fairly conclusive. When looking at the best and worst schools by state. 12/15 of top schools are in blue states while 9/10 of the worst schools are in red states.

Truth!

FL is ranked #3 and couldn't be more republican..

FL is ranked #16 for PK-12.

Yes but 12 the top 15 are Democrat states. Where is nine of the 10 worst states are Republican

These rankings don’t take into account student demographics. When they normalize based on demographics many “high performing” blue states look much worse.

You can put a bunch of affluent white/asian kids into a school with subpar teachers are by most metrics it will look much better than a school with excellent teachers full of black and Hispanic kids.

If you swapped the kids at Whitman with the kids at Kennedy and changed absolutely nothing else, what do you think would happen?

They do and the problem GOP run states just want to keep down the population by suppressing education.

Yes, like those kids in the magnet school who also deserve an appropriate education.

Montgomery County Public Schools is in the middle of formally assessing the success of its social justice-inspired approach to conflict resolution in cases of school bullying, violence and hate bias using state-provided metrics.
