Just a point that concerns me about the current Governments Schools' policies.: turning in the proto - terrorists.
Apparently as teachers, my colleagues & I have to report any student that we think may be susceptible to islamic extremism. Where will this end ? I was at a secondary school in Birmingham with several Fenians - none of them engaged in terrorist activity.
What I'm objecting to is the filing of information (which might well be incorrect) on students, who, let's face it, might just be being a bit gobby with one member of staff because they don't like them, & this then potentially putting them on the terrorist database.
Teachers are always & have always been concerned about the welfare of students & there's plenty of opportunity in the range of lessons taught & in pastoral work to consider these issues with individuals - but reporting them ??? More Big Brother State than genuine student welfare.
