[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]John McWhorter is right in his new book. Any questioning of dei efforts in school is to be met by the chiding of woke scold white allies who squelch dissent from their world view. It’s as if questioning restorative justice, or its impact on preventing or mitigating bullying, is itself a racist act these days. Enjoy the coming push back as people slowly understand that free speech is under threat. The continued infantalization of a broad segment of the population with pandering, condescending “equity” polices will have inverse consequences. Parents will leave public schools if they’re kids are guineas pigs to poorly proven restorative justice programs. They’ll also leave if their children’s class rigor is being diluted in the name fairness. You all seem to have drunk the koolaid. It was only poured in the last few years, and if anyone doesn’t want to drink it, or questions what’s in it, you appear to want them shunned or shamed. Look at the pushback. Look at Virginia polls. It’s not just a bunch of white supremacists scared of slavery talk. It’s parents saying “what the fk are these people doing? Are they going to teach? Or are they going to implement questionable educational polices that lower the bar and make our kids less safe”. So get outside your little arrogant bubbles and actually see things objectively.[/quote]

I'm sorry you feel this way. I hope you can find time to go back through the thread - I feel like many of these concerns were addressed, but happy to respond to any specific worries if you have a particular concern.[/quote]

They weren’t addressed. You threw out a claim to have educational credentials and that your controversial theories were sound because you assert they are sound. The needle has not moved an inch and everyone is still waiting to learn how restorative justice is beneficial.[/quote]

There are a pretty good set of experiential examples that I thought backed up the theoretical practices I diagrammed. Please let me know if you'd like an example of how RJ looks in a situation and I can share my experiences. Happy to help talk through concerns![/quote]

There are many studies outlining the challenges of RJ actually working in schools:

This was particularly concerning:

The academic performance of middle schoolers actually worsened at schools that tried restorative justice. Math test scores deteriorated for black students in particular.
The number of student arrests was similar at both treatment and control schools. That suggests the restorative justice experiment wasn’t doing much to alleviate the school-to-prison pipeline.

There's a lot of $$ being made by Restorative Justice consultants however. [/quote]
