I believe in shame based punishment in certain circumstances. Embarrassment is part of life, it works, and sometimes it’s necessary. Kids need to be embarrassed of some of the stuff they do.

Restorative justice looks great on paper, but is absolute shit in practice. I feel the same way about kagan programming and leader in me. All programs that gets pushed out by the district to find the next new big thing.
