In your own words, what is restorative justice?  How does it work?  Do you think it is something we should practice here at SPHS?

Basically restorative justice is having a person, who did something wrong, (in this case vandalism) own up to what they did and clean up the mess they made. In the article, John went back to the taco shop he spray painted, apologized to the owner and fixed the problem he had caused. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and practice restorative justice at the South Portland High School. It seemed to work out pretty well for that guy John in the article, so maybe it would help for us to practice at the high school. How ever I don't think that anyone one in our school has given us a reason to practice restorative justice, but I guess just to be sure, practicing this would be an ok idea.
