"If inappropriate material is found on the device it is up to the teacher to decide whether they should delete that material, retain it as evidence (of a criminal offence or a breach of school discipline) or whether the material is of such seriousness that it requires the involvement of the police."
I find it worrying that one person, ie the teacher, has the authority to delete what may be considered by others to be 'evidence'. After all, the person may not be aware that there could be history and any evidence would help convict whoever sent, or induced the child to send, inappropriate material.
Since when was it appropriate for an extremely fit, skinny seven year old girl to examine the calories, fat,sugar,carbs etc. on food packets?
Gillyb I'm with you on that! I have a GD like yours, plus she is already very aware of what she can and can't eat because of food intolerances. The last thing she needs is the school drumming it into her that she should count her calories etc. She is built like a pipecleaner! I'm all in favour of children being taught about healthy eating, but not to that extent.
Why is it assumed that, because a child may have a biscuit/cake etc in their lunchbox, that they eat unhealthily? My GD is so extremely active and athletic that she would need a biscuit or cake. Also, the school doesn't know what food is provided at home and that lunchtime cake/biscuit may well be the only 'banned' food that they have in a day. It would be more appropriate for a very active child to eat it at lunchtime to keep them going through the afternoon, rather than waiting until they got home after school.
