Restorative Justice is key to better schools

  Children from about ages 5-18 has to endure about 6-7 hours a day in school. Many kids leave a not so happy home and enter a building where they are being told what to do. They have to abide by rules which they have to follow or they'll be reprimanded. Many children, predominantly black high school students and other minorities don't come from a wealthy or even a middle-class background. Many of which don't necessarily value their education. There are also few who get very little sleep due to many responsibilities at the home and then have to attend school the next day which brings more hardship in their direction. Our young individuals have been losing sight in what's right and they're levels of interest in making a better life for themselves due to their home environment and also the school environment. A lot of them have nobody to talk to, cry to, or just have anyone in general, whose willing to listen to them voice their opinion.
