MCPS’ made up RJ model does not[/quote]

Not only does MCPS's RJ model doesn't work, but it is also not implemented consistently across schools. I think it's one of the worst things I've ever seen MCPS do, and it has been the largest contributor to the uptick in violence and fights at schools. In addition, it has brought down the morale of a large number of staff who feel like this has sucked the joy out of teaching. You top that with the removal of SROs, and we're just waiting for a disaster to happen. SO many teachers are miserable.[/quote]

When it was used at our school to address bullying and worked great. I don't know where you get off speaking for everyone about its effectiveness.[/quote]

I'm so glad it worked at your school and you just made a great example of my point. It is not implemented the same way across all schools. At my high FARMS, low rated MS school, it has been TERRIBLE for all staff and student victims, largely black and brown. I shared a few examples in a previous post. Please tell me if that's how RJ is supposed to work because if it does, then we have gone mad. [/quote]
