[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is a warped interpretation of restorative justice. We experienced it too.  If a child is disruptive (in the older grades this takes the form of throwing chairs, dishes, etc) the child isn't made to leave the classroom. All of the other kids are asked to leave, and their learning is further disrupted. Kids threw big rocks on the playgrounds. One threw a laptop out the window. Some sent threatening notes to other students. The focus is on protecting and not shaming the perpetrator, to the detriment of the victim and the learning environment.

I'm sorry, OP, that you're experiencing this. We stuck it out for a while and left eventually, just like all of the other founding families we knew. Good luck![/quote]

This isn't limited to MV. We're at a different charter and the school has made it very clear that the safety of the children isn't as important as making sure violent kids don't feel bad about themselves. DCPS as a whole makes it near impossible to suspend kids. [/quote]
