Ban teachers from confiscating a pupil's belongings

What the petition asks

Confiscated property can get lost or damaged, meaning pupils can end up being unable to retrieve confiscated property.
Teachers are there to educate, not confiscate property. The Government should therefore ban teachers from confiscating a pupil's belongings.
