[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Restorative justice is an awful idea that empowers the bullies and trouble makers, weakens the teachers and administrators,  and puts the burden for bad behavior on the kids who behave.

Restorative justice Does. Not. Work.[/quote]

[b]It can. It just doesn’t work well in schools and the training for it is terrible[/b]. [/quote]

Teachers absolutely hate it.  The lack of consequences for bad behavior is fueling major burnout. [/quote]

You have to be a troll. All we’re doing is consequences. There is so much documentation and procedural work. RJ is not replacing consequences. It’s in ADDITION to consequences.

Another clueless admin. who doesn’t get things are reaching a tipping point. Teachers don’t want to keep teaching when NOTHING happens to so many students. Teachers are being cussed at, attacked, and constantly interrupted by students in class, or students wandering in and out of classrooms. We see students being mercilessly bullied. We see students fighting and they go to the office and are sent back to class with some candy. [/quote]+1. Students are also being bullied and there are essentially no consequences for the bully. In fact, more students laugh at the bullying as it continues with only failed warnings or simple principal comments to ‘be kind’.   The RJ attempt backfired as well.  [/quote]

+2 I had to pull my 7th grader out of FCPS because of the complete failure of the elementary school and middle school to address bullying.[/quote]
