[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some actual examples of "restorative justice"?

Is it just race based discipline?[/quote]

No, it is not race based, but of course FCPS brings race into everything even when it is not there.

An example of restorative justice would be if your son has been bullied all quarter by a kid, with the admin well aware of the bullying, so instead of the bully getting escalating punishments culminating ina suspension or explusion, the counselor would gather the bully with the vistim, and have them talk about how the bullying makes the victim feel, followed by the victim publicly forgiving and affirming the bully.

It is a bully/perpetrator centered model, which outs the responsibility on the victim to make things right and gives all the power to the person doing wrong.

This is what happened to my DC two years ago.  We heard reports and updates about DC and the other student from the counselor and principal - but nothing changed. It was terrible for DC.  [/quote]
