NYC Schools Replaced Discipline With Therapy. It’s Blowing Up In Their Faces
New York City schools have seen a decline in suspensions, but incidents of violence have increased. The shift to restorative justice practices, which emphasize dialogue over punishment, has not resulted in improved behavior according to recent evaluations. Critics argue that the new approach may be contributing to rising violence in schools.
- ▪NYC schools recorded 9,193 suspensions from July to December 2025, an 8.3% decline from the previous year.
- ▪Serious assaults in schools rose to 109 from 103 during the same period.
- ▪A 2022 evaluation found no measurable effect on disciplinary incidents or suspension use in NYC's District 18.
