[quote=Anonymous]https://www.vox.com/22979070/restorative-justice-forgiveness-limits-promise I'm not a fan. Basically there's a talking session where there's a fake apology and then the bullied kid is pressured to fake-forgive. The bullied kid has to say things like "I don't want to be hit" or "Please don't hit me" which is really kind of pathetic, being forced by teachers to publicly beg your bully to stop hitting you when everyone knows they won't stop. Then they get bullied again and the cycle repeats. It's re-traumatizing, and it consumes a tremendous amount of school resources and instructional time. "Consensus" means that anyone can block the outcome, so you tend to get deadlocked. And it devolves into rewarding bad behavior with attention, kids learn that behaving badly gets them lots of attention and extra perks like being allowed to leave the classroom.[/quote]
