Should teachers guard takeaways ‘like bouncers’ at home time?
I was asked to chat to Eamonn Holmes on his Drive Time Show on talkRADIO about this story of Police being called after a school banned kids from entering food shops on the way home – even placing teachers as “bouncers” outside a chip shop.
See the Article –> HERE
The children from Cotham School in Bristol are barred from entering at least three convenience stores and a takeaway during home time between 2.45pm and 3.15pm.
I was outraged as a former Deputy Head and Class Teacher – it’s NOT their job to police kebab shops and chicken take-aways – kids don’t learn from such drastic measures – they’ll go there even more as they like challenging adults during the teenage years – we need to teach them to take responsibility for their food habits – and of course educate parents.
I KNOW it’s a big problem but making teachers bouncers isn’t the answer.

Hi Maggie,
I write for ParentMail – an app that connects schools and parents, efficiently and reliably using modern technology, making essential communications much simpler for everyone.
There are lots of these apps available so why not go and have a chat with the Head teacher about alternatives to the traditional snail post?
It’s proven, children achieve more when parents are involved with their education so it’s great that you want to be actively involved.
