[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could be wrong but I believe a key tenet of restorative justice is the consent of all parties (including the victim and the perpetrator) to participate. Coercive participation doesn’t work. It can be effective at resolving some kinds of conflict. Although in Maori cultures (from which it derives) it is often accompanied by a period of shunning. [/quote] Unfortunately, we have a miniscule Maori student population in FCPS. Look, I am from an asian culture where honor/dishonor of your elders carries tremendous weight for encouraging good behavior in youth. But FCPS is not full of families from that background, so I would never expect effectiveness from them using a discipline method that simply tells the kids they have dishonored the family so go bow to grandma. I mean, seriously, do these FCPS leaders get all their ideas from a university Mao inspired struggle session?[/quote]
