Just another gimmick isn't it? Just like the idea of marching louts to cashpoints to pay on-the-spot fines!
It's a wonderful concept but you know people in charge just can't be trusted. The schools were politically-correct enough when I was there 15-25 years ago but even then the teachers were institutionally useless.
At one point I had a weight problem and unsurprisingly I'd get grief for it. Some kids got a bit violent but even then nothing really got done about it, despite the jellynecked trendy teachers urging me to 'leave it to us to sort out'.
But after I finally snapped and gave some recurrent bullies a taste of their own torment, the treacherous head of year had me on the carpet for aggressive behaviour!
And now with Government initiatives to 'understand' and protect bullies, with schools urged not to even expel scumbag kids any more, why shouldn't we have reason to believe that things have only got worse?
(But I suppose the countless extra kids now suffering from bullies will learn extra early that our pillars of community and trendy politicians are either useless, misguided or rotten enough to be unable to deliver the promised utopia. At least that's something.)
