ES Teacher here and I don’t really know what it is exactly. I was wondering if maybe this is a HS thing. I asked my MS teacher spouse about it and she said she thinks it is possibly used a little in MS. She also doesn’t know much about it because she has never used it.

Sounds like the PP is conjuring up a boogyman. [/quote]

It is sometimes used in ES. The goal is to get the offender to understand the harm they cause and change. [b]In practice, I believe it serves only to re-traumatize victims and leaves them feeling they have to forgive kids who’ve done nothing more than say they’re sorry.[/b][/quote]

Precisely this.  It also allows the school to keep the bully and the victim in the same class, because in theory, the victim has "forgiven" the bully and the bully has "atoned," so you know - it's all good.  The reality is exactly as you describe.  [/quote]
