Magazine article, “Where Dignity is Part of the School Day,” by Fania Davis, a story about using restorative justice circles in schools in lieu of zero-tolerance punishment. I still wonder how much trouble and time could have been saved if my brother’s school had used a restorative justice program. I understand that my brother’s drug and alcohol abuse would not have been remedied through the restorative justice program. Restorative justice would have also allowed PJ’s school to avoid court costs and time caused by his absences, suspensions, and outbursts. Restorative justice is the creative means to solve the problem of impersonal punishments.
