Now, How Silly Can You Get?

Schools call police over violence

Police officers have been called to schools in England more than 7,000 times in the past year to deal with violence, according to figures obtained by the Tories.
Shadow children's secretary Michael Gove said the statistics were "very worrying". The figures were obtained by the Tories under a Freedom of Information request, to which 25 out of 39 police forces responded.
Each force was asked how many times they were called on to school premises for an attempted or actual violent crime in 2007/08. The figures revealed that there were 7,311 violent incidents in schools during this time. The Metropolitan Police were summoned the most, with 2,698 calls, while Thames Valley had 697 calls and Kent had 425. City of London police had just one incident.

Now if, like in South Auckland, police were placed in schools such figures would be fudged some what. But as New Zealand tends to follow what occurs in UK schools, what have we to look forward to?
