Middle School Justice Project: Since the "trial" there haven't been any disruptions in my presence due to student conflicts...perhaps the one trial was enough? If so, then I will attempt conducting impromptu approximations of our American legal system throughout the year as needed. Perhaps the idea of a possible trial for one's actions might encourage students to think before they act?
Am I naive enough to think the trial made a huge difference? No. But I do think it prompted thought and a bit of contemplation. That makes it a success in my book. Everything doesn't need to be heavy and lesson-laden. We kill so much in our education process by overdoing it.
