Education secretary to scrap "no touch" rules

Michale Gove, the Education Secretary on the cabinet, is hoping to abandon Labour's "no touch" rules to allow teachers to obtain more authority in the classroom.  This does not mean that the teachers will be able to hit the children, but it does give the teachers the ability to separate two students causing trouble, or to console a student who is a victim to bullying. Teachers will also be allowed to search students for banned objects at school, such as weapons or drugs. There has been an opposing view on this concept which claim that this will breach human rights and child protection laws.  What is your view on this idea?
