BBC breaking a story about a 15 year old pupil stabbing a female teacher to death.

Not much detail at the moment.

What is it with kids and knives these days?

Young lad was stabbed to death a mile or so away from my home a week or so ago.

When I was young we all had knives. Penknives. For when we were playing in the woods and stuff. Nobody got stabbed. You proved to your dad you were mature enough to have one and then you got one. If you misbehaved you had it taken off you.

This is absolutely awful. Why can we not bring back discipline and teach respect in schools anymore?
Until we do things will only get worse. It makes me fear for the world my young lad is growing into.

What a terrible day for the teacher, her friends and relatives, the school and the City. A dreadful day for the attacker and their family, of course, too. There'll be years of terrible days to follow this attack. Awful news.

The mother of a murdered (through knife crime) youth ws just intervied on 5Live as I returned to my desk. She enters schools these days to try to educate the pupils and the wider school about the perils of carrying knives. Tear inducing stuff.

Same thing over here, except we all had rifles as kids, nobody was shot. I think it's obvious you need to ban knives.

"Permanent exclusion

Permanent exclusion means your child is expelled. The local council must arrange full-time education from the 6th school day."

You can't kick kids out of the education system.

Because people with this attitude are walking around with their rose tinted glasses on.

Consider how you would act if you were demonised by society because of your age and dress sense, ignored by your parent(s), forced to spend 5 hours a day locked up with people you can't stand for numerous reasons, whittering on about stuff you can't understand, being punished because you're not interested, and told you have no future anyway because A)You're a boy and boys are scum, only girls are mature enough to make something of themselves B) There is no future for you even if you pay attention and get good grades.

Eventually some of them will snap.

Hard to believe stuff like this can happen. The sad reality is that it has.

It's a bit late now. You need to kick kids out of mainstream school earlier but it's an expensive option.

Various Governments meddling with the education system, and laws generally. And a rose tinted set of specs for the people who did the meddling.

This is how we treat teenagers. Not a life I'd be happy with. But they have to put up with it.

Is anything whatsoever known to the posters above about the pupil concerned, then? I didn't think it likely that he/she had been named and their school record released yet. Is this all just guess work/prejudice - or has facebook/twitter been at work?
