Restorative justice Does. Not. Work.


It can. It just doesn’t work well in schools and the training for it is terrible.



Teachers absolutely hate it. The lack of consequences for bad behavior is fueling major burnout.


You have to be a troll. All we’re doing is consequences. There is so much documentation and procedural work. RJ is not replacing consequences. It’s in ADDITION to consequences.

Another clueless admin. who doesn’t get things are reaching a tipping point. Teachers don’t want to keep teaching when NOTHING happens to so many students. Teachers are being cussed at, attacked, and constantly interrupted by students in class, or students wandering in and out of classrooms. We see students being mercilessly bullied. We see students fighting and they go to the office and are sent back to class with some candy.

What school is this where kids are sent back with candy? Not mine.

Ask your kids what happens in a non AP/ honors class when a teacher asks a student to put their phone away.

You elect a School Board that happily puts people in charge of disciplinary matters who don’t believe in holding kids accountable, and then you’re surprised when that degrades the school environment?

Maybe it’s time to stop voting for Ds just because groups like the FCFT endorsed them.

As a teacher, I can attest that teachers are the ones who detest Restorative Justice the most. Hardly a bunch of MAGA trolls.


Add me to the list of teachers who hate RJ. I am not a MAGA troll. I AM a person who has personally seen how damaging RJ can be to a school community. Students do not take it seriously. I see it used all the time in lieu of actual consequences.

As long as we decide to dismiss any dissenting voices as MAGA trolls, we are never going to get anywhere. This thread is filled with teachers saying it does. not. work. Why don’t our voices count?

Another clueless admin? Claims of a troll? This is the FCPS social media admin team at work more likely. Don't be fooled by the by the power of FCPS. The majority of info on this website is missing 95% key info.

Name the principal that gives kids who fight candy or it didn’t happen.

+1. There are far fewer consequences for bad behavior than in the past. Ask any teacher how well RJ is working in their school.

The attitude that helped get Trump elected.
Don’t get me wrong, the string economy and no new wars were great and all, but still.
