Carolyn D. Gorman(@CarolynGorman_):If any “school-to-prison pipeline” exists, it hasn’t been fixed with “restorative justice.” Mental health-oriented approaches like restorative justice, SEL, and trauma-informed practices have simply removed the consequences for misbehavior—including violence. Unresponsive schools are feeders to the justice system.
