Mask wearing for children is just the start for school chaos!

Have investigated and found pupils are routinely asked to bring items to school which undermine teacher authority, risk serious injury, spread of infection or cause death.
Yet speaking out can get you fired @Telegraph
I am calling all teachers to help me compile a list of “red flag” items to ban on the grounds of teacher and pupil safety. We have to be honest about what children do and respond accordingly. @calvinrobinson

We must not be in denial about the realities. #ukedchat #getreal
Compasses: On the surface a tool for circle drawing, they can be especially deadly in class. Pupils stab each other in the legs to see who will shout out, during teacher talk. They also play “chicken” risking serious injury. Also used to pierce ears; often without sterilisation.
Paper Clips: Many pupils simply destroy paper clips, wasting key classroom resources. Others have been observed poking each other in the arms for no reason. Can be shot via elastic bands and also used as “knuckle dusters” on the back row.
School Bag: This is a repository for all kinds of contraband including chewing gum, mobile phones, drugs and alcohol. Have witnessed this many times. Easy to hide a quick text. By the same token school shoe soles can easily be hollowed out and used to store a ‘teenth
School Tie: this seemingly innocuous symbol of being work ready is actually a tool of anarchy. Have seen kids wear these round the head “Rambo style” to undermine teachers. Also quickly converted into a noose or ligature to amputate arms or strangle victims.
Water Bottle: Never used by pupils to attain proper hydration for study by instead for drinking concealed vodka, gin, or navy rum. Often used to squirt liquids at other pupils, or shared, creating infection risks. Can be used with a mask or hankie for makeshift water-boarding
Uniform Scarves: Although providing the appearance of outward respectability on the walk to and from school / school trips, school scarves are just nooses in disguise. In the hands of the braying mob, they are long enough to strangle at close range, or to “whip” from a distance.
School Tights: Less of a problem in school itself, but can be quickly converted for use in bank or post office heists on the journey home
Watches: In the right (adult) hands, a means to check time elapsed during an exam. The face however can be used to “blind” an assembly speaker. Loud ticking watches can also be used insidiously to remind teachers of the their own mortality, causing existential crises.
