[quote=Anonymous]The target should be given the option to say whether they’re willing to have that conversation. Maybe they will later but not now, maybe they will never be ready to talk to the person targeting them, but it should be their choice. That’s how we handle it at the school where I teach. ( not mcps.) Sometimes the abusive student wants to apologize and they can’t, and that’s ok, because it’s not just about them. My school suspends and gives detentions and there are fewer repeat bullying situations as a result. I’m not opposed to RJ when done right, but not if it means revictimizing a kid or making them accept an inauthentic apology, and not if it means the perpetrator avoids a real consequence. We need to prepare kids for the real world. If they assault someone they could go to jail as an adult. [/quote]
