31、ation,Pre-listening,Listening,New Words and Expressions,Background Information,Part A,Part B,Teachers Will Have Power to Search all Pupils for Knives,Teachers may search every pupil in their school if they suspect that there is a knife on the premises. Britains growing knife culture has prompted min

32、isters to draw up plans to try to prevent more stabbings.,Home Office figures show that the number of children aged 12 to 14 convicted of carrying knives at school doubled between 2000 and 2004 to 170.,LISTENING,L-B-P.2,Pre-listening,Listening,New Words and Expressions,Background Information,Part A,

33、Part B,Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, has decided that the new Violent Crime Reduction Bill does not go far enough in tackling the knife culture in schools and wants to give head teachers wider powers to track down and seize knives. The Bill going through Parliament allows teachers to search

34、 individual pupils if they have reasonable grounds for suspecting that they have a knife. But teachers believe that being able to search every pupil would be effective.,LISTENING,L-B-P.3,Pre-listening,Listening,New Words and Expressions,Background Information,Part A,Part B,The change would mean that

35、 many innocent pupils would be caught up in searches. Teachers would be given statutory guidance on how to conduct a search. It would define what constituted “reasonable grounds” for suspecting the presence of a knife, what teachers should have before conducting a search, how many people should be p

36、resent and the search methods. The guidance would also set out rules on what sort of records should be kept.,LISTENING,L-B-P.4,Pre-listening,Listening,New Words and Expressions,Background Information,Part A,Part B,Officials said that the recent stabbings had illustrated the need for action. The move

37、 is part of a wider campaign against the culture of violence and drugs in schools, under which random drug testing will be introduced in secondary schools this autumn. From September, pupils in Kent will be tested with mouth swabs for drugs including cannabis, cocaine and heroin. Last month, Kiyan P

39、amend it. John Reid, the Home Secretary, is considering increasing the maximum jail term for carrying a knife from two to four years.,LISTENING,Section B Background Information _ Alan Johnson,Alan Johnson: a British Labour politician, who has been the Member of Parliament for Hull West and Hessle si

What is the fourth spe

49、akers suggestion in those schools where its too dangerous for the teachers to do the search?,The police should be called.,LISTENING,L-B-L.1 Script1.1,Part A,Part B,Should Teachers Have the Power to Search for Knives?,Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, wants teachers to have the freedom to search

50、 all pupils for knives. It is hoped the move would act as a deterrent to any children thinking of taking knives into school. But should it be left up to teachers or should searching for dangerous weapons be the responsibility of the police? And would such a ruling infringe upon the rights of innocen

51、t children?,LISTENING,L-B-L.1 Script1.2,As a retired teacher, if we needed to know what was in a childs pockets, we asked him or her to show us what was in them. This way we avoided any unnecessary touching of the child. The child was in almost all cases willing to comply with the request. However,

52、these were junior children and such inquiries did not usually yield a weapon. Teachers should not have to search children for knives as parents should ensure they do not leave home with one. Yes, teachers should have the right to search children as and when they see fit. However, given the lack of r

53、espect for teachers that the last 30,LISTENING,years of educational “experimentation” has instilled into children and their parents, it is unfair to expect teachers to risk being attacked. Any child they wish to search should first be given the opportunity to submit to the search voluntarily. If the

54、y refuse, the child should be put into isolation and the police called to conduct the search. If the child refuses to stay to be searched, there should be a presumption that they are guilty of the offence they are to be searched for and prosecuted accordingly. And no whining apologists should be all

55、owed to put forward “mitigating circumstances.”,L-B-L.1 Script1.3,LISTENING,Searching children for dangerous weapons should be carried out by the police. Teachers do not have the training to undertake such a task. However, they should be given the right to search children (or call in the police) if

56、they feel it necessary to protect others. People continue to abuse the argument of infringing on human rights; in these circumstances, as in so many others, it is clearly only protecting the perpetrators, those people who carry dangerous weapons. This overly politically correct stance has led to the

57、 death of many innocent people and is continuing,L-B-L.1 Script1.4,LISTENING,L-B-L.1 Script1.5,continuing to put many more lives in danger. Whatever happened to pragmatism and doing our best to protect the law-abiding innocent people of this country? Of course teachers should have the right to searc

58、h all pupils and not just for knives but whenever they see fit. Im amazed that this is not already the case. Pupils civil liberties? Just another example of PC gone mad. And in those schools where its too dangerous for the teachers to do it the police should be available to be called in at short notice to do it for them.,LISTENING,L
