Getting every teacher to have lengthly criminal record checks done
Do you actually have children? People who do generally would prefer they are not in the care of criminals (and we are not just talking about sex crimes - I woudn't particularly want a drug dealer or a murderer teaching kids either). It can be theater, but that doesn't mean it is without value to public welfare.
As to the microchipping, I don't understand how this is different than requiring a rabies vaccination or a dog licence. It's not a GPS tracker, for god's sake.
- axod 17y agoYes I do have kids. The incidence of crime here is so low that criminal checks, CCTV on schools etc is just stupid. If you live in a city, then sure, maybe you want more security. How many people with criminal records that actually put our kids at risk, apply to be teachers? It's likely a negligable %. When they go for an interview, they'd likely be refused if there was a real risk. It's like taking off your shoes at the airport. It doesn't stop anyone who wants to blow up a plane, and it just pisses travelers off and makes them fly less.
