Summary:While education is often tasked with educating students for a somewhat infinite number of futures, it is perhaps possible to say that no matter what the future is, people will continue to live with and care for one another in some capacity. To be attentive to this future is not to educate for a specific, fully developed and already decided upon view of the future but is to educate for living with and caring for each other now. This paper takes its point of departure in the complexities of living and caring for each other that emerge when responding to violence in schools. By drawing on educational philosophy and transformative justice, this paper explores educational responses to harm. Ultimately, this article argues that transformative justice can be understood as a response to violence in schools that gives rise to education now.
