The Problem:

Quote:
What makes students misbehave? What is the appropriate punishment? For years, educators have grappled with how to keep students and staff safe from fights and extreme disruptions, often combating disrespectfulness with policies often solve the immediate problems, but often also lead to to long-term academic failure.

...

"The waste of so much human potential is not only unacceptable in Oakland, but across the country," then-superintendent Tony Smith said when announcing the plan.
(emphasis added)

The idea is to support and restore the student's ability to function in the academic environment. The idea is that the school's job is to help and educate every student they can, not just the nice and easy ones. That's What the Fuck.

The concept of any Restorative Justice theory is to remove then restore rights and privileges through a codified behavioral schema.

i.e., "you do this, we'll do that."

I'm fine with this, it's how a kid gets the car keys or cell phone back at home.

But it starts with compliance.

In our case, based in three levels of prior non-compliance?

1. Drag the kid out of the chair.
2. Remove her from the classroom.
3. Tell her what the schema is.
4. If she doesn't comply, she doesn't come back.

The choices are all hers.
