Praxis of Restorative Justice

So I've been doing circles to start and end the day in my CTM. I saw that I had to do it when one day a kid asked me what another kid's name was, but the other kid had been in my class for over a year. It was bad. There isn't a community or family atmosphere in my group. And in large part I'm the one to blame. The praxis of restorative justice forces me to change it up. I can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. It's making me cuckoo for coco puffs.

As a part of my "getting to know you questions" I've been asking the 10 questions that James Lipton asks all of his guests. Then I started asking some from the Proust questionnaire. This has inspired other kids to start asking questions. I mean people, myself very much included, love doing the questionnaire type shit on facebook. I've spent way too much time doing the 25 Random Things about Me and 20 albums that changed my life.

I'm excited to try and create a community where one should naturally exist. I think that will be part of the key to creating a better atmosphere and school environment.
