[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All teachers know this. It’s a disaster. Restorative justice is supposed to be a piece of the puzzle. MCPS has tried to make it the sole solution for all discipline issues which is not how it is supposed to be used. Actions are supposed to have consequences.[/quote]

So who gets to be held accountable for this massive blunder within MCPS's leadership? Was RJ Monifa's big bet? I don't think so since it was being implemented before she was appointed, no?[/quote]

No.  Restorative Justice was implemented way before McKnight took charge.

Nobody will be held accountable because there is no oversight of MCPS.  [/quote]

When my kid was in 4th grade, a kid attacked her because my clumsy and somewhat awkward daughter accidentally bumped into her in a lunch line.  When attacked, my daughter defended herself.  Even though there were multiple witnesses saying the other kid attacked unprovoked, both kids got into “trouble” for it.  The punishment was both students had to eat lunch together and talk about how the others actions had made them feel. Nothing else happened to the kid who attacked her, and this child did the same thing several more times that year with the same “consequences”.  That was a decade ago, so RJ was well established even then. [/quote]
