[quote=Anonymous]I have a middle schooler at ITDS and saw some of the inner workings of restorative justice this year. My DC’s teacher reached out to me immediately following an incident and the child who caused the incident did not come back to school school for a few days. I was given a very detailed explanation of what happened from the school - but only about my child. They are very big on not exposing any “private info” (or ANY info at all) about other children.

My DC also told me of several occasions where DC was called in as a witness (because another kid said DC saw something occur). It definitely seems like the administration “acts on” the issues. Whether it resolves the problems is another story. Seems like they are trying to follow procedures that just don’t work.

We have had mostly positive experiences but I have heard of other classes that have not.

The teachers at ITDS are usually empowered to do things their own way (hence “inspired teaching”) but this means that the ITDS experience is teacher-dependent and varies widely.
