[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our schools uses RJ. It's amazing when used correctly. You are really missing out.[/quote]

Teacher here. I’ve seen RJ used many times over recent years. I’ve never seen it work. You do realize the students openly mock it, right? I’ve had students act out in front of me and say, “yeah? What are you gonna do about it? Put me in a f-ing circle?”

It’s a joke. The kids know it’s a joke. There are only a few idealistic (naive) adults who still think it’s worthwhile. [/quote]
+1 My teens have stated that no one takes RJ seriously.  Do the people who come up with this BS even know teens at all? Idiots.[/quote]

If kids haven't learned right from wrong as teens, they need strong consequences not a discussion on their behavior with the child they hurt.[/quote]

But a discussion with the child they hurt is exactly the consequence they need.[/quote]

A discussion is not a punishment.  If these kids had empathy it might work but if they had empathy they would not do it in the first place.

My kid is being bullied.  You think seniors bullying a freshman are going to care about a discussion to be nice to them.  That ship sailed long ago. [/quote]
IKR! Bring back corporal punishment! Beating kids into submission cures so many of societies ills.[/quote]

That’s your answer.  No wonder kids act out.  There are lots of things the school can do. Switch the bully out of the class, suspension, detention.   People like you are why these things are happening.  [/quote]
Damn you, Poe's Law![/quote]
