[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The person or people (maybe from Gatehouse?) advocating for restorative justice are citing Ivory Tower research, but they are dismissing the two, possibly three - parents here in FCPS who posted about their own child’s experiences as the victim.

In their cases, RJ failed, and only enabled the bully.

Also, the same sort of University-led research once backed the movement to abandon phonics as a method to teach elementary reading.  We now know abandoning phonics was a minor mistake.

So forgive me, as a FCPS parent, if I distrust the latest fad Dr. Reid is pushing, and the “research” from the same suspect sources she is using as a fig leaf here.[/quote]

Anecdotes. The &quot;parent(s)&quot; agreed to the RJ process. It wasn't something forced on them.

We have no proof that those posters are parents, let alone actually went through the RJ process.

I'll take actual studies over anonymous posters with a clear agenda &lt;2 weeks before an election.
