[quote=Anonymous]The problem with schools now is that there is very little they can do. Many schools switched to restorative justice approach which emphasizes talking, problem solving, realizing how you may have hurt someone, what you could do differently. In theory these are great things to learn how to do to resolve differences and learn to do better. Is is a good thing that vague offenses like willful defiance where one student is punished (often a student of color and/or boy) while a another student (white and /or girl) is not. The problem is that some kids realize there is not punishment, and begin to run amok. Those kids used to be suspended, which gave teachers and other students a break, and served as a warning to other students. Those kids are no longer being suspended, which encourages other kids to mimic their behavior because they realize there is no consequence. [/quote]
