After reading and annotating the peer reviewed/scholarly articles, Can Restorative Practices Help to Reduce Disparities in School Discipline Data? A review of the Literature, published in Multicultural Perspectives and Shifting from Zero Tolerance to Restorative Justice in Schools, from Children and Schools, and the Education Week article, Betsy DeVos Weighing Action on School Discipline Policy, and after watching the Restorative Justice YouTube playlist, write an essay in which you compare and contrast exclusionary zero tolerance discipline practices with inclusionary restorative justice practices. In your thesis, make an argument to reflect what you think schools should do to improve or reform their educational justice methods in order to meet the goal of providing every single student in this country equal opportunities in their education.
