    You're getting me confused with another poster on here, the one that works the streets of your imagination.

    Yes I think it's a very good idea to hold guns securely, especially in schools.

    Totally agree again with Fandango's post... But If only....

    I've heard stories of schools alraedy trying this and then getting screaming middle class mums driving up in their range rovers and saying how its a safety issue, or a civil liberty.

    Half the problem is parents thinking the sun shines out of their kids arses.

    My wife's had so many problems with parents having a go at her for being "unfair" to their little prince and princesses.

    She's had well to do parents going to the head teacher saying she's bullying her children because she shouts at them for not completing their work and them throwing things around in class.

    A lot of these parents seem to think school is free child care and nothing else too -Turning up to get them at 5:45 when school closes at 3:30 and the crappy system forces the teachers to have to wait for them...

    (Berkshire examples btw, I'm not sure if it happens everywhere)

    I fail to see the news?

    Mobiles were banned when I was back in school/college and that was when they came out, decades ago now. Anyone using one, had it locked in the lecturers draw till the end of the day.

    This policy would be good at the cinema too.

    Might nudge some of the piss poor lazy parents to try and enforce a bit of a discipline into their kids if their lives are inconvenienced by either
    a) the contstant trips into school to retrieve a mobile
    or
    b) if the refuse to go into school, the constant whinging of a teenager who doesn't have their mobile all week

    if you have tough rules and they are enforced fairly and consistantly then kids will learn and respect them

    Couldn't schools just have a Faraday cage built around the outsides?

    Sounds like a logistic PITA for teacher/school to collect them and look after them without claims of them getting nicked. But a hard line should be taken on anyone having a phone turned on during lessons - instant confiscation. Should be exactly the same as if you were caught with a Walkman when we were at school (or a crystal radio for some of the older ones )

    Mobiles just like guns should be securely held in school and only allowed during breaks between classes.

    They should be confiscated as were all proscribed items found on a pupil's person during my schooldays.

    I reckon they have a case for going to ECHR. This is the thin end of the wedge. If this carries on they might actually have to do some work.

    After all, we won the war didn't we? So we can bask in our glories for a long while yet. Those bloody foreigners just don't have a clue luckily for us.
