Tonight, a big Bay Area School district is reporting some good results with a new approach to discipline. Instead of punishing students, they are forcing them to face their issues head on. Ann notarangelo is in oakland tonight to tell us how it all works. Reporter allen, suspensions at this middle school are down considerably. This year so far they have only had four. Last year at this time, they already had 14. And the principal here says its in part due to a program called Restorative Justice. We like start out with a checking question. Reporter i sat down with six peer mediators at Edna Brewer Middle School who showed me how Restorative Justice works.

People are willing to talk about it. Last year we had a conflict where two people got in a fight and to this day i see like them hanging around each other. Reporter oakland unified says its working district wise. After 10 years of gradual implementation the district released its first report that points to results. Creating a sense of community at schools has dropped absenteeism, increased reading levels and reduce dropout rates. Its also more fair.

Reporter a researcher sat in on the interview as this form of discipline gets national attention. The principal says the bottom line. Punishing the bad out of kids doesnt work. Reporter but its not necessarily touchy feeley either. Its more difficult than being punished to sit across in a circle from the person you harmed. Reporter they dont see many repeat offenders maybe because what students learn in the circle they are using in the halls. They get to understand what they did wrong and what the other person did wrong. They get to come up with agreements of what they can do better.
