Child being searched at school
Is it against the law for a girl of 15 to be searched by a female teacher in front of male pupils and 2 male teachers,
apparently looking for mobile phones which are banned at school ?

Yes, sherrardk.
Some pupils simply refuse to hand the phone over. They know that there is nothing I can do. (I give a choice of hand it over or detention, but for many a detention is unenforceable as they never turn up). Some do hand over phones and I sometimes have several lined up on my desk but as there friends usually take them back when my back is turned it then becomes a game. If I put them in my pocket or bag they sometimes complain i've damaged it when they get it back.

Which brings us back to the original point....
At what point can teachers discipline a pupil and where do "namby pamby" politics take over.
Teachers need to be able to enforce discipline on pupils but we seem to have hit a stage where discipline is overruled by the "my little darling would do that" attitude

I am getting all stressed out just reading about it - schools are a minefield. Teaches can't enforce appropriate discipline, parents think that their children can do no wrong, heads/deputies sit in their ivory towers but don't come into contact with the actual students and the teachers are constantly being asked why their results are not better. Nightmare! I went to uni for four years, have sixteen years experience as a teacher (the last seven of them as a senior teacher) and I would never go back.
Hi chuck- did you see the Jamie Oliver- Dream School last week where the girl student was sent home for being extremely aggressive, swearing repeatedly at the Head and threatening another pupil. Her mum seemed to take her side.... until she saw the video footage, but even then she felt the head had been partly at fault because he had asked her not to shout out.
