Many suspended students were spendâ€" ing time at home, having fun, unsuperâ€" vised and thus were not learning anyâ€" thing from the suspension. In fact, many were starting the repetitive susâ€" pension cycle of reâ€"offending. Through restorative justice circles, stuâ€" dents are held accountable for their actions and have opportunity to hear the victim impact statements. Read, having spent many years as a student success administrator and a viceâ€"principal at KCI, knows about stuâ€" dents with multiple and complex issues. Read said: "The changes in legâ€" islation are good for kids, parents and school communities. It‘s about buildâ€" ing skills, not punishing kids. The truth is you can never punish a disengaged student into being engaged or behavâ€" ing more appropriately. We have to help our kids learn these skills. The legâ€" islation and Ministry funding allows us to do this" Students held accountable According to Waterlooâ€"Oxford principal Ed Doadt the legislaâ€" tion has put into force what he feels has been a best practice of the local board. "We have always strived to use proâ€" gressive discipline where possible and appropriate," he said. "In addiâ€" tion, we now have additional staff members to work proactively with students, potenâ€" tially reducing behavioural issues in schools." "It‘s refreshing, progressive, researchâ€"based, and intuitively makes sense for all involved," said Read. Local educaâ€" tors will have to wait to see the overall effectiveâ€" ness of Bill 212.
