What teacher in their right mind is going to do this?
It would open them up for child abuse charges surely?
They can only search a child of the same sex, and there must be two teachers
present when the search is conducted.
A more appropriate concern might be is this something teachers actually want
to get involved doing? Most people become teachers because they want to
teach, not because they want to perform security duties.
I'm saddened by the fact that this legislation was even felt necessary in
some quarters.
Another of Tony Blair's false promises - "tough on the causes of
crime" - that didn't materialise. Taking a knife into school is a
pretty obvious cause. I can remember a few boys with flick knives in
school and that was the late 1950s. Several of them ended up in
approved school or borstal and were never heard of again. So this has
been a growing problem for fifty years at least. Except now they're
given an ASBO.
knife in his pocket whether at school or not. A useful tool usually
bought for you by your father when he decided you were adult enough to
be trusted with one. I had a jack knife and a horn handled sheath
knife for fishing. Can't recall anyone of my acquaintance ever
sticking knife into anyone else until I joined the army and one of
the loonies in the camp of over 1000 used one on another.
Perhaps you should look to the steady drip of police propaganda
promoted without dissent by the press. The propganda that teaches
youth that the only use for a knife is to stab someone with it.
