Teachers shouldn’t be able to seize/confiscate a students personal items.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Lets be real,nobody likes having their belongings taken away from them,so why should teachers be able to take away my belongings from me.
I think teachers shouldn’t be able to take away students personal items for no valid reason e.g food which is in your pocket or bag,or your phone or earphones which are put away.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. This issue would be the responsibility of your school. You could take the issue up with your Headteacher.
