[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you imagine how those kids behave at home?  There are no consequences at home or school so they run wild.[/quote]

Our school uses RJ, which works miracles with these kids. It's too bad they don't train everyone better in its practice.[/quote]

Restorative Justice does not work at the middle and high school level, for bullying (no one wants to be in a healing circle with their bully!), or behaviors that MCPS wants to keep out of the criminal justice system. Think the armed carjacking that BCC had before Christmas. Can you give examples of how it works in elementary?[/quote]

My last school was huge on restorative practices. The preventative side was great with community circles and building a community in your classroom. However, it did nothing to curb kids physically fighting, [b]eloping[/b], cursing out teachers, hitting staff, etc.  I taught third grade at this school and it was exhausting. RJ isn't the cure-all that people try and make it out to be in MCPS.[/quote]

Oh well that's not so bad. [/quote]

The first time I saw "eloping" in the context of school, on DCUM, I thought it was an autocorrect error.[/quote]

Eloping is really bad because the kid is out in the community without adult supervision and could be injured or abducted. The school is still responsible so the police have to be called and a lot of staff end up with walkies searching the neighborhood. The parent has to be notified. Some kids do this on a regular basis.

The police officers in MoCo who terrorized a 6 year old were called because he eloped.[/quote]

Yes, running off from school is bad. Calling it "eloping' is funny.[/quote]
Eloping means running off, so...[/quote]

For people who aren't in education, eloping means running off [i]with a romantic partner to get married[/i].[/quote]

Exactly! And, at our ES there was an issue this year with kids pretending to get married at recess, so my initial thought was maybe OP was talking about our school.[/quote]
