Metal detectors at Paddington Academy

Very interesting to see that Paddington Academy is one of the few schools to bite the bullet — or pull the knife if you like — and introduce metal detectors to stop knife crimes in the school. Even more interesting to note, that it was the pupils who wanted it. As I argued previously on the BBC and elsewhere, teachers need this power and pupils appreciate it when it’s rational, compassionate adults who are running the show and not the yobs. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23490534-details/Head+whose+pupils+died+brings+in+metal+detectors/article.do
