Teacher here. I’ve seen RJ used many times over recent years. I’ve never seen it work. You do realize the students openly mock it, right? I’ve had students act out in front of me and say, “yeah? What are you gonna do about it? Put me in a f-ing circle?”

It’s a joke. The kids know it’s a joke. There are only a few idealistic (naive) adults who still think it’s worthwhile.

+1 My teens have stated that no one takes RJ seriously. Do the people who come up with this BS even know teens at all? Idiots.

If kids haven't learned right from wrong as teens, they need strong consequences not a discussion on their behavior with the child they hurt.

But a discussion with the child they hurt is exactly the consequence they need.

Not when the victim is treated on equal footing as the abuser. If you're going to have those conversations and a fake apology then back it up with punishment such as detention, suspension and if actions continue, expulsion.

Not if that discussion ends up inflicting more harm on the victim in the form of dismissiveness and gaslighting. We have to stop placing the feelings and needs of offenders over their victims. The victim's feelings need to be centered and prioritized.

A discussion is not a punishment. If these kids had empathy it might work but if they had empathy they would not do it in the first place.

My kid is being bullied. You think seniors bullying a freshman are going to care about a discussion to be nice to them. That ship sailed long ago.

Disagree, even discussing this with you seems like a punishment.

IKR! Bring back corporal punishment! Beating kids into submission cures so many of societies ills.

NP. Is your kid currently being bullied? If so I'm terribly sorry. And unfortunately you need to put a stop to it yourself by any means necessary. No one else will do this.

I would but child wants me to leave it alone and thankfully one kid left the class. They will be gone this year. They are just mad my kid is more skilled than they are. If ii reached out to the teacher with this teacher I think they’d deal with it.

That’s your answer. No wonder kids act out. There are lots of things the school can do. Switch the bully out of the class, suspension, detention. People like you are why these things are happening.

No! A discussion is not a consequence. It also requires more from the victim, who already suffered enough. They shouldn’t have to help their own perpetrators.

Perhaps but it's best to start a conversation.

Absolutely not. It’s not the victim’s responsibility to address the perpetrator’s behavior. Leave the victim out of it. Provide REAL consequences to those hurting others.

I’m tired of this assumption that kids don’t know better. They do. That’s why students mock RJ. It’s not a consequence. It’s a joke.

That sounds like a great way to address these problems. If only the regressive would give RJ a chance.

Nope. Those of us who have it a chance have already dismissed it as useless. The only people who support RJ now are either 1) people who are employed to keep the idea alive or 2) people who have never actually seen it in action.
