Although the information was obtained by a FoI request the teaching unions say the Tories are exaggerating problems in schools. That'll be Labour schools though as we've ahd 11 years of you-can't-do-nuffin-cos-I-know-my-yuman-roits.

Maybe we should do away with PGCE, SCITT and GTP and look to KUNGFU instead.

They have security guards and metal detectors in many American schools.

Granted the troublemakers seem to stay in school to a later age there, but similar may well be required here.

Don't kids now have to stay on longer at school in the UK now?

I'm surprised the number isn't higher considering the number of teenage gansta'z we have rolling the school halls.

Then again...how many calls from schools are screened out? Maybe they put in 50 a day. Some already have what amounts to a permanent police presence. These are schools ffs!

When teacher's can't discipline why is this a surprise ?

As a builder in the late 80's I worked at some schools in London that had security guards.
