I believe the point to be that the watch was in possession of the school, not nicked from a bag. Make it abundantly clear that one is resposible for their own possessions. However, in allowing people to wear/bring in whatever they want, asking them to surrender possession and then allowing an...

They should be reactive, if they are found to be lacking. Value of personal possessions should be immaterial. Lots of pupils in my school have MP3/iPods. It's an SEN school and music can be quite calming for those with a long journey home. Security is assured. I'd like to think that all...

I'm yet to be convinced it hasn't.

Yes, most have learned their lesson, but someone or two haven't. It's a dereliction of duty to brush it under the carpet. Two young adults have not learned their lesson (assuming it is not the helper or someone else). The value is immaterial.

He shouldn't wear something worth £80? The value is immaterial, surely? Does this extend outside the school front gates? It should be an admission of guilt, if the school are happy for pupils to come with anything of value and require them to hand them over. I guarantee that they will be...

It's not a generalisation at all. The culprit will not be caught and will not have learned their lesson. People should be expected NOT to steal, as opposed to the flowery 'in good light' for resisting temptation to take something from someone else. Just put it down to poor luck then and move on?

Never? Countless times? What has that got to do with children taking the opportunity to steal something and then turning a blind eye (assuming their investigation was pointless). We had a hobbies room at school and a child was stealing from others. It was closed until the thief was outed and...

The most important lesson has not been learned. Presumably two kids have nice new watches for which they or their parents did not pay for.

Are they not sending a letter home to all the parents/carers/guardians of the children involved in the class? That's a dereliction of duty, if they are not.
