[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This place is anonymous so… if you’re a school administrator, do you actually feel like RJ and circles work? If so, why? If not, why? how will a forced circle solve real problems? [/quote]

Yes, they're very effective. The issue is that student discipline is a private matter, so you never hear the whole story as an outsider.[/quote]

Privacy is an allusion. And when the harm is done publicly, some aspect of the reconciliation or repair needs to be equally public as well.

Also, it's 2023 and we live in a digital/social media age. Very little is private. What ends up happening is kids become the main information source because they talk while the school pretends like it can't comment. It's an idiotic game to play.

And furthermore, even if the outcome of a specific incident is private, the consequences for the type of violation or offense should NOT be private and should transparent and broadcast loudly so everyone knows what to expect.[/quote]

You are focusing on the outliers.[/quote]

The fact that you keep insisting the rate and rise in student behavior incidents is a series of outliers a problem. If you work within MCPS and this is your attitude, you are toxic and you need to leave. We are looking for solutions, not a reality distortion machine.[/quote]
