[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression from my own experience and from speaking with other teachers is that restorative justice and Leader in Me can be more effective at the ES level.

Throwing it into  MS and HS has been a bit of a disaster due to lack of support, training, time and school culture.  As others have said.  It is best for low level issues.  Repeating offenders need more structure, support and accountability than RJ can provide.  Indeed RJ isn’t really meant for the 5% of students causing 80% of the repeated issues and disruptions.  Although it can have some effect if the student and staff have a very strong relationship.[/quote]

Besides Burning Tree (a school that has almost 0 Farms and 0 trauma) what other elem schools are reporting success with RJ? Certainly not my school in Germantown! This program isn’t working on any level![/quote]

Or even better which are reporting problems with it? I'd like to hear real stories not just RW propaganda.[/quote]
