[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't seem to be going any better at FCPS.  My child's elementary school really pushed for it for a bullying situation in lieu of actually doing anything.  The RJ mediator met with the students and opted not to go forward with the process.  So, the thing that the school was relying on isn't going to happen.  [/quote]
RJ can work for ES better, but not older kids.

Do these adults really think that teens want to bare their souls to their perpetrators. FFS. do they know any teens.

It's clear that it's not working.  Read through the article..

[quote]At the time of the presentation, 87 of the 210 MCPS schools had submitted data for the evaluation. Of those, only 3.4% were found to have a mature approach to restorative justice, meaning they have “proactive measures in place with significant effectiveness.” [/quote]

Terrible. And the story of the WW teen.. horrible that she had to sit through that.  This is why teens don't want to participate in RJ. I don't blame them.[/quote]
