[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metal detectors and/or x-ray machines make sense at this point as well as having a police presence.  It absolutely can work.  And, being held accountable.  RJ may work for the K-5 crowd, but come MS and HS you know better and need consequences.  If my kid is bullied, no way I'd agree to them setting down with the bully to talk it out.  These bullies don't care nor do their parents.  They probably learned to be bullies from the parents.[/quote]

Yes. I would be down with RJ in elementary school. Beyond 5th grade, the kids need more than hugging and talking. Some of the students in HS are practically or are already adults. They need consequences and for some, they don't need to be in the school anymore. They need to be in rehab or jail.[/quote]

Parents should get the option for RJ, especially if their child is the victim.  Lets be real, just talking and hugging isn't going to stop a bully.  I would not agree to RJ for my kids, especially if  I wasn't there.[/quote]

I’m a high school teacher and a parent. I would not approve of RJ for my own children. I want consequences, even if my child is the perpetrator. I’ve seen RJ fail over and over at my school and students openly mock the idea. I once had a student admit he wasn’t afraid of acting out / fighting because he’d only be asked to talk it out.[/quote]
