[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no consequences for kids any more and kids know it. 
Teenagers are impulsive and sometimes make bad decisions. Restorative justice, etc., ain’t cutting it. Principal Neal needs to wake up and get tough. In her defence, the woke movement of trying to reform kids with love, tolerance and understanding is all over the country. Even private schools have way less student accountability than they used to. Eventually the pendulum will swing the other way. 
Teachers are in a bad spot. They are in their own. The administration does not want to hear complaints about unruly kids. I work in a suburban school district and we are facing some of the same issues. Very stressful being a teacher these days [/quote]

First, middle school kids are a difficult age. Second, you really do not have any clue about restorative justice or whether it works or not so STFU with that claim. [b]Third, out of school suspension completely rewards kids for bad behavior.[/b][/quote]

This is definitely true if the messaging at home does not support suspension as consequence for the behavior; in those cases in school suspensions are probably more effective. Loss of access to learning should be universally viewed as a punishment, but it's not. Suspension is probably not a reward for the majority of kids.[/quote]
