DP. You may think this was some self-own by PP, but "equity" has just become an excuse in FCPS for dumbing down academics and sharing less information with parents. Brabrand started out with good intentions and turned into a stooge when he became aware that's what the all-D School Board wanted; Reid has been a stooge from Day One.

To each his own. I AM voting for equity. If we're not working towards making education equitable, what's the point?!

We used to work towards making education excellent. Now we're working towards making education equitable. If education is not excellent, what's the point?

Victims only participate voluntarily. No one is forced to do it. Parents must agree to it.

That is not how it is proposed to the parent. It is presented as "this is what we are doing". Parents whose kids are never in trouble do not know the system - but the problematic parents have problematic kids, and you bet they know the system well - they certainly work it to their advantage. The victim loses out, obviously. Something has to change.

The perp should not be allowed to walk around school as if they are not a liability, because they are.

This is the change. Previously, the victim had no ability to affect the outcome. Now, they and their parents have a voice. Show up. Participate if you don't like the outcomes.

The "perps" (WTF?) don't just walk around with no consequences. There are consequences, including disciplinary actions, if appropriate.

I was bullied in middle school and the only thing I wanted was for the bullying to stop and for the bullies to behave better. The last thing I wanted was to be in a room with the bully and a bunch of adults expecting me to articulate my feelings.

This stuff strikes me as utter BS and it's not for the benefit of victims. Victims make "victim impact" statements in court in criminal cases that can affect sentencing. Restorative justice in a K-12 environment will just teach bullies how to game the system and make victims feel like they somehow triggered the bullies.

Do you think the two are mutually exclusive? If education isn't equitable, can it really be considered excellent?

Okay, so then you would opt out of any restorative justice efforts. Students always have that right.

As they are currently envisioned, yes, they are mutually exclusive. And by moving away from excellence, we hurt all students, including and especially those we are intending to serve with equitable education.

How so?

What is FCPS doing to "move away from excellence"?

So then you would choose not to use the RJ program. It's voluntary.

People are commenting without understanding how it works and projecting their own issues.

Fire the School Board in the elections and then fire Reid.

Naw. The last thing we need is Republican right wing types overseeing public education.

Why not? The liberal idiots on the current board have run the system into the ground. There's nowhere to go but up.

You want equality of opportunity, not equity.

Equity ignore the fact that humans are unique individuals, with different strengths, weaknesses, drive, ability, interests, family histories, mental histories, intellect and goals.

Equity works in direct contrast to excellence. They are incompatible.

Restorative justice already agreed, she's not replacing anything with it. It existed before she got here, you idiots.

They always need well-meaning people with stupid fads like RJ to show off.
