[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How and why did "accountability," "consequences" and "discipline" become bad words in our school system? Parents didn't ask for this.[/quote]

Under the Obama era it was decided that too many children of a certain race were getting suspended.

RJ was implemented to use in lieu of suspensions.

Don't know about any of that but when they used to stop my kid from being bullied it worked![/quote]

It's effective when used correctly, but seems like some are just against everything other than prison.[/quote]

There has been no evidence of it's effectiveness, yet you keep insisting it's effective. MCPS's own surveys have shown it's not effective, as the article that started this thread proved. Your RJ zombie talking points are DOA. Stop wasting bandwidth with them.

Furthermore, if this solution is so sensitive to error and dysfunction if it's not "used correctly," then maybe it's not a solution that's suitable for a school district of MCPS's scope, size and inconsistency.[/quote]

The evidence presented at the March BOE made it sound like RJ was working miracles. Bottom line is calls to police are way down.[/quote]

Calls to police are way down because administrators have been told to avoid doing so lest they undermine the RJ approach being pushed by the central office. It’s like saying you haven’t seen any roaches in the apartment ever since you stopped turning on the lights. [/quote]
