It will be some time before it gets through parliament and it is rather closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

I find it disturbing the way that ministers smugly engineer legislation to stifle the rights of teachers to tackle the violence and when brought to account seem to regard any dissent as reactionary pettit-conservative whinging.

So how come the news says:

Teachers in England are to be given stronger legal rights to restrain pupils and to punish badly behaved children, the government has confirmed.
