[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Families are inequitable and because families are inequitable, punishments are too. So restorative justice is about equity and disproportionate outcomes and punishments of inequitable families.

The same goes for grades and test scores.

Being a family is hard work and because kids don't choose these things, it is unfair to assign them grades or punishments that are a result of things they can't control.

Hope this clears everything up. [/quote]

So that girl who choked the boy on the bus - she shouldn't be punished harshly for the heinous thing she did because perhaps she comes from a low-income family and just "didn't know better"?  Are you for real?  Do "clear that up" for us.   :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

Correct. More often than not poor academic performance and behavioral issues stem from home life. She may “know” better, but she doesn’t have the tools to control herself. Same with kids who don’t have time at home to do homework.

But rather than redistribute parents and wealth (not happening) to create equitable homes, we remove the outcomes that reflect these inequities. So no unjust punishments that reflect an home life in crisis and no unfair grading systems that reflect family performance rather than student performance.

Maybe you were privileged with a loving home and don’t understand the struggle. Thankfully this school board does and will ensure that equal outcomes prevail. Kids start in the same place and now we can hope they finish in the same place too…. Barely able to read.[/quote]

The fact that you seem to actually believe your own drivel is what's really scary here.[/quote]
