[quote=Anonymous]If I have to do one more Community Circle to "restore justice" I think I will scream.  All it is doing is teaching the misbehaving child that whining and excuses are acceptable ways to restore themselves to the community.  There is no reparation and there is no service.  Only a child lamenting all the ways that she has been wronged and all the ways that he things the world could have treated him better.

Bullsh1t.

If you've just damaged a room and hurt another kid or teacher, you need to come back after your consequence and make amends to the community.  You need to publicly apologize to the kid and class, you need to do before and after school service by cleaning classrooms, and you need to relinquish privileges like general seating at lunch until your debt to the community has been met.

Attending school is a right and a responsibility.  Kids understand the right part but some of them don't understand the responsibility part.  Our school systems are to blame for that.  School system administrators are more worried about someone screaming about her lost rights than they are about the rest of the community that is damaged.  Parents in the community need to step up.  If your child's classroom time has been disrupted by a kid who put your child in danger then you need to step up and get mad about it.  The school system responds to the squeaky wheel.  The parents of 20 kids mad about 1 kid's disruption will make a whole lot more noise than the parents of the 1 kid.  [/quote]
