[quote=Anonymous]In the old days teachers used to be able to hit students, should we go back to that since people are saying things from the past have worked the best?

The US has the most people in prison and yet one of the highest crime rates and rates of gun violence, EVEN when we expelled and suspended students.

It.does.not.work. Scared straight was a funny show but a crock of crap. Children who hurt others also need help and hitting someone once is not bullying people, bulling is chronic.

RJ is not something I’m super familiar with as I teach students who have mostly been diagnosed with ED. And let me tell you some of them don’t actually have ED but it’s parents like you or their gen ed teachers who advocated for them to be suspended and put eventually in self contained.

These band aid methods don’t work. These are children and they need help. If a child is being bullied they need help too but their bully being suspended isn’t going to always stop the bully.
We have to figure out the why. Unless the child has a mental disorder there is a function for their behavior.

Deal strikes me as a school not working on the why, just asking them ‘why did you hit ‘X,’ let’s love each other kumbayah’ isn’t what I am talking about.[/quote]
