[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This place is anonymous so… if you’re a school administrator, do you actually feel like RJ and circles work? If so, why? If not, why? how will a forced circle solve real problems? [/quote]

Yes, they're very effective. The issue is that student discipline is a private matter, so you never hear the whole story as an outsider.[/quote]
This is full on BS. MCPS states that barely 3% of RJ incidences were effective.

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

MCPS data shows that only 7% of over 1,100 school visits from the restorative justice team have involved assisting with conflict resolution in specific incidents. Most of the team’s work consists of providing professional development and training opportunities to school staff, said Shauna-Kay Jorandby, MCPS director of student engagement, behavioral health and academics.
