Yes 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.
