That stuff doesn't work. They need to try restorative which at least has a chance of working.[/quote]

MCPS has been all in with restorative justice for the past few years now.  It is clearly NOT working.  [/quote]

I would actually argue that’s when it started getting much worse. RJ showed the kids that there are no true consequences to their behavior. (I’ve had a misbehaving student tell me he doesn’t care because he knows the worst that will happen is he’ll have to sit through RJ. He knew it was a farce.)[/quote]

Fair point.

The school system sets behavior expectations early.  When kids learn that there are no negative consequences for bad behavior, they continue with that bad behavior and it just gets worse.

Restorative Justice may sound great to our political leaders and Central Office employees, but they have very little interaction with our students on a day to day basis.  Most politicians and Central Office employees are SO out of touch with what is going on in schools.  [/quote]
