This is why I'm voting R. My kid goes to a school where there are regularly fights and there are no consequences. No R will win, but enough protest votes may convince politicians there's a problem

Whether it’s getting rid of gifted and talented classes, or AP or generally just putting remedial learners with advanced learners “out of equity” so they don’t feel bad, but in reality it’s just forcing teachers to teach to the lowest common denominator and slowing everyone else down.
Or with little to no discipline now where you can’t suspend or expel anyone.
We won’t have anyone willing to teach. We will have a stupid, population that can’t read well, but who have been advanced through the rungs of school with inflated grades, because we now have to give everyone at least a 50% grade at the outset.
I mean how are we supposed to be competitive on the world stage when everyone will have a head full of idealistic activism and constant grievances, but little education or will to work. You’re already seeing a bunch of Gen Z “anti-work” crowd dckheads in the workplace who can’t get along with their boomer bosses and don’t show up to work to take mental health sick days.
What’s the future going to look like for the spawn of the Gen Z who have had no reason to temper their behavior in the classroom. Hopefully automation and USB will be in full swing and we can all be like the folks who ride around in chairs in Wall-E. Either way, progressives, whether it’s criminal justice reform or education policy, while well intentioned, have exacerbated this decline with their touchy feely, selective “evidence based” policies. Can’t suspend, must pass everyone to achieve an amorphous “equality of outcome” goal that’s basically just a platitude. Then they can’t read or do math because “finding an answer” is more important than the right answe. I mean what the fk.
sorry
Not PP but it's proving their point if that's the best you can do. Go watch some more Tik Tok.

Restorative justice Does. Not. Work.
It can. It just doesn’t work well in schools and the training for it is terrible.

Don’t attack Reid for being who she is and doing what she was hired to do - promote an equity agenda where the interests of “students impacted by discipline disparities” come first and the interests of students who work hard and abide by the rules come last.
If you don’t like it, vote for other candidates in the upcoming SB elections, such as Paul Bartkowski, Saundra Davis, and Cassandra AuCoin. Vote in another all-D slate of SB candidates and rest assured it will be four more years of the same initiatives.
+1 I will be voting in R candidates for sure this year.

We have had a rise in discipline issues at our local schools post pandemic "school"
Honestly, the kids involved need their phones taken away and if they cannot behave, school suspension/expulsions.
They don't need to revictimize victims by forcing them to talk to their bullies and troublemakers, nor do the troublemakers need to kumbaya circle of affirmation.
What a stupid idea. Hoping and praying that at least some school board seats flip from dems to republican next week at the school board elections. We need to pull this crazy far left pendulum back towards the center.

If your child is the victim can you refuse to participate? Force them to follow the disciplinary code for detentions, suspensions, etc. If the problem involves any sort of physical contact let the school know you'll be contacting the police to show up at the school if they don't address it?

Restorative justice is an awful idea that empowers the bullies and trouble makers, weakens the teachers and administrators, and puts the burden for bad behavior on the kids who behave.

When can we fire Dr Reid and send her back to Washington State where she belongs? Keep her PNW to herself.

Dr. Reid says she is implementing “restorative justice.”
This is a portion of Michelle Reid’s weekly update sent to FCPS parents:
"The second initiative is our Restorative Justice Program’s new Responsible Pathway to Restorative Justice Facilitation. This pathway program will enable trained and endorsed members of Team FCPS to operate as school-based restorative justice facilitators. By this time next year, our goal is to have two of these facilitators in each of our schools. I’m thrilled about this program and how it will support us to provide excellence, equity, and opportunity for each and every one of our students, especially those impacted by discipline disparities. [i] As I shared with the principals on Thursday, I know there likely are a lot of questions about these two initiatives! More information on our Instructional Rounds and the Responsible Pathway to Restorative Justice Facilitation will be made available in the coming weeks; stay tuned!"
Do you think this is a good idea? Will this new approach increase or decrease crime in your child’s school?
