  We are in a PC society , part of the problem is the rights to correct a pupil can often get out of hand .
  
  I had to visit schools over the years and found it strange in the different ways teachers taught pupils and the lack of any kind of discipline in some schools.
  
  I was surprised when I visited the primary academy in Folkestone where opening doors for example for someone coming along the corridor was quite normal, and most pupils well behaved .
  
  That was not my experience in many schools

  “The poverty on Sheppey is immense so it was the toughest to run. It has been and will continue to be really hard for whoever runs the school without more investment.
  
  “There are children who need extra tuition, extra help, extra input and bespoke care. Someone to be with them as they kick off and not give up on them but that means having more resources".

  1. There is a national ban on mobile phones in schools in countries like France, Finland and China
  
  2. When asked how much the Yondr pouch system was costing the school, Mr McBeath declined to give a figure
  
  3. " The £18,000 solution that could keep phones out of the classroom. Fed up with students glued to their devices, schools are turning to US firm Yondr’s magnetic pouches ". (D.Telegraph 05/10/23)
