Restorative Justice Gone WrongRestorative justice can be an effective way to handle conflicts, but if carried out incorrectly, it can create more problems than it solves. The school attempted to use restorative justice to fix the situation, but in my opinion, they did a sloppy job. Likewise, if a school is not committed to using restorative justice, it won’t make restorative justice its first and only option, leaving students confused about how the school will resolve conflicts. I encourage teachers and administrators to participate in restorative justice classes or workshops to learn the right and wrong way to use this powerful process. With restorative justice, students, teachers, and administrators will feel like they have a closer and caring community, where everyone feels respected and heard.
