Montgomery County Public Schools is in the middle of formally assessing the success of its social justice-inspired approach to conflict resolution in cases of school bullying, violence and hate bias using state-provided metrics.

Data indicates that MCPS efforts to adopt a restorative justice model may not have been effective, while students and parents question the success of its approach to conflict resolution.

The school district describes restorative justice as “an approach to building community, self-care, and conflict resolution.” The approach was first adopted in 2019 after the state passed regulations requiring schools to employ more trauma-informed practices. Within this model, principals can request a member of the central office restorative justice team to be deployed to schools as incidents arise

Restorative justice isn't struggling at all. Parents who lack access to any data are skeptical of these new methods.

Please come to my 4th grade classroom any day, stay for a day or a week, and try repeating that. Make sure you also speak to the students who don’t feel safe. A child brought a knife to school last week and said he was sorry and it was an “accident” that the knife slipped into his bag. Well that’s what he told admin to appease them even after bragging to the students that he had it. He had to stay in the office for 1/2 a day but don’t worry he still got lunch and recess with his scared classmates. The scared class had a circle and was told to understand that it was an accident. The same child beats up other children multiple times a week. The class is told to accept that he is trying to communicate his frustration. To be clear, the frustration he has is that he is being asked to do work. In our grade, there are 3 others that are also scary- 1 in each class. But they go into the halls and create massive havoc.

Teachers are not okay with being told that everything is fixed and fine because we’ve had a circle.

This is depressing. MCPS, wake up! This is not ok!

What can parents do in this situation. We are not there yet (only in K) but I want to be prepared if /when it happens.

There's a lot of pearl-clutching and "sky is falling" in this thread. Sure, MCPS isn't perfect but this also doesn't paint an accurate picture. Many of these posters are just distorting reality to be dramatic or have some political agenda. My kids were at schools with around 30% FARMS and never had any of these issues. In fact, the smaller class sizes made things even better.

Similarly, I don't doubt that some of these things happen but even at a moderate to high FARMS school, this just isn't anything we've ever experienced either.

Wow I could have written a very similar post about my own MCPS elementary school. Me and my students have all been hit, kicked, cussed out, etc. by a couple of kids in my class. None have ever been sent home or suspended. It's always a visit to the office and then right back to class. It amazes me that I don't get parent emails nightly asking me WTF is happening in my room. I sometimes wonder if my students are so used to this toxic behavior it doesn't phase them after the initial incidents occur.

Why do Democrats keep voting for this crap?

Can you ping me to a Republican run area with great schools.

How about you start with some effective consequences for the school violence?

Thank goodness the thug that beat the teacher in FL in going to lock-up for a long time.

I’m just looking for a Republican run area with great schools. Can’t you just list a few?

https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/how-do-states-really-stack-2015-naep

When you normalize for student demographics, Texas is the second best performing state in the US. Indiana is 3rd and Florida is 6th. Mass is easily the best when it comes to public education.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/05/what-are-massachusetts-public-schools-doing-right/483935/

“ The Massachusetts experiment with transforming public education traces back to 1993, when state leaders decided to set high standards, establish a stringent accountability system aimed at ensuring that students from all backgrounds were making progress, and open its doors to charter schools.”

So basically the opposite of what MCPS does.

But Dallas, Austin, Houston are all democratic. I don’t plan to live in the county.

Massachusetts is democratic.

Florida schools are terrible .

I’ll have to research Indiana. Indianapolis and Gary are democratic. Looks like Carmel might be red but they have some anti CRT stuff so I’m not a trumper just a conservative.

That’s the point; Florida schools are not terrible when viewed objectively. You believe this, but the data doesn’t support this.

The school district describes restorative justice as “an approach to building community, self-care, and conflict resolution.” The approach was first adopted in 2019 after the state passed regulations requiring schools to employ more trauma-informed practices. Within this model, principals can request a member of the central office restorative justice team to be deployed to schools as incidents arise

Restorative justice isn't struggling at all. Parents who lack access to any data are skeptical of these new methods.

Please come to my 4th grade classroom any day, stay for a day or a week, and try repeating that. Make sure you also speak to the students who don’t feel safe. A child brought a knife to school last week and said he was sorry and it was an “accident” that the knife slipped into his bag. Well that’s what he told admin to appease them even after bragging to the students that he had it. He had to stay in the office for 1/2 a day but don’t worry he still got lunch and recess with his scared classmates. The scared class had a circle and was told to understand that it was an accident. The same child beats up other children multiple times a week. The class is told to accept that he is trying to communicate his frustration. To be clear, the frustration he has is that he is being asked to do work. In our grade, there are 3 others that are also scary- 1 in each class. But they go into the halls and create massive havoc.

Teachers are not okay with being told that everything is fixed and fine because we’ve had a circle.

Montgomery County Public Schools is in the middle of formally assessing the success of its social justice-inspired approach to conflict resolution in cases of school bullying, violence and hate bias using state-provided metrics.

Data indicates that MCPS efforts to adopt a restorative justice model may not have been effective, while students and parents question the success of its approach to conflict resolution.

Why do Democrats keep voting for this crap?

Can you ping me to a Republican run area with great schools.

Either Alalbama or MIssissippi are excellent examples of GOP run schools.
