[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The police don't do anything about violence in FCPS.  There was an a/b at Langley, and they did nothing, in the interest of "Restorative Justice". There was a drug dealer at Langley, and they were quietly moved to another school.  Parents need to know that FCPS' purpose is to sweep matters under the rug, and blame the victims.  I would go to the local news, they will help you - not the police. [/quote]
I don’t understand.  Does restorative justice apply to the justice system as well as schools?  Like if there is evidence—they won’t even charge a kid? [/quote]

Restorative justice has nothing to do with the justice system. It is applied internally by school personnel.

No. The perpetrator sits in a room with the victim and apologizes to the victim. The victim is revictimized as the victim is required to participate.
The victim accepts the apology.

This is in lieu of suspensions as too many minority males were suspended for behavioral issues nationwide.  Administrators and teachers are discouraged from suspending students and are evaluated on how many suspensions they have and suspensions are tracked by race.  It is meant to be a good thing if minority males are not being suspended.

Restorative justice was started during the Obama years to replace detentions and suspensions and calling parents into the office.[/quote]

All of this is true.

Poll the public school educators who have been forced to attempt “restorative justice,” and you’ll get nearly unanimous rejection of it as a failed policy

Or just do a search here on DCUM on the term “restorative” to see what educators have consistently said over months and years about this mistake.

Yet, the current school board and their lapdog administrating here in Fairfax keep pushing this failed concept on schools.

If only there were an upcoming school board election . . . [/quote]
