Can’t stand either one of them.[/quote]

This exactly

Both are disasters.

Starr has his Harvard pals infiltrate central office, and he thought social media would pump up his reputation. Totally superficial

Smith is carving out a consulting path for himself.

I don't really get the knock on social media. I thought that made Starr more accessible. The problem with restorative justice is that MCPS didn't properly train or implement it. (My opinion as a teacher.) Restorative justice should still involve consequences and not trying to make the number look good. We need consistency and rule enforcement AND restorative practices can do that when done well.[/quote]

You're addressing my post.

RJ (or practices) work best with "low level" infractions.  When it's gang-related, it takes time and a whole village to address it.  (I was trained through tier 2, btw.) We don't have time for that.  Get the real criminals out.

sorry - I have NO tolerance for this BS. Schools are not baby prisons, and it's become a slippery slope when you pull teachers into MH roles.  We are not TRAINED as psychotherapists. [/quote]
