I would break the SPP. I will make sure to explain to Marcus that bringing a penknife to school is against the rules because it is not safe. I will keep the penknife as a precaution. i will show interest in why he had a penknife and getting to know what was he working on with his grandfather. I will avoid the ten day suspension keeping in mind the impulsivity and Marcus not thinking of the consequences. I will make a meeting with his parents and Marcus to remind about school rules and explain that we need to help Marcus in the coming days at school and to make sure that he does bring such items we check his back .

As an LSE, I would ask Marcus to put it back in his bag or hand it to me so I keep it till the end of the day. I will explain to Marcus the danger of the situation and try to make him understand why he should have not brought it to school. I would tell him that I can understand that he did not get it the knife to harm others but to show it to the rest of the class. I definitely would not have given him a 10 day exclusion as he will still not understand why he got excluded. I will inform the teacher and discuss the matter with SLT and involve parents to help Marcus be more responsable and understand his action which will prevent it from getting it again

I would have talked to Marcus first, calmly and listen to him. Together with Marcus I would go to the teacher and tell her/him that he had brought a penknife with him. Together we might have reached an understanding for the teacher to hold onto the penknife and return it to his guardians later, as it is still not safe to take it back home himself. Instead of suspending him for 10 days I would check his school bag everyday

As a teacher / Lse , I would talk to the student to understand why he brought the penknife, and explain to him that it is unacceptable to bring it to school with him.

When talking softly and explaining calmly, the student will understand better and not rebel. When giving such a punishment, the teacher will encourage him to bring things to school that are not permitted in order to get suspended

instead of suspending Marcus and call the police, I would talk to him and understand why he brought the penknife. explain the school rules calmly. inform his family and and offer in-school support like counselling. we would work together to help him learn from the situation. This would help marcus stay in school, feel safe and avoid the school to prison pipeline. supporting him over time would also help him become stronger and make better choices in the future.

I would walk to Marcus and ask him what is the thing that he is holding in his hand. I will ask him when does he use it and if there is anyone with him when he makes use of it. I will tell him to be very careful when he makes use of it as he can easily get hurt. After having this conversation I will tell him very gently to put it back in the bag. Afterwards I would talk to the teacher in private and tell her not to be that quick to take action.

As an LSE, I would first make sure everyone is safe and ask Marcus to give me the penknife. I would listen to his side of the story because it seems like he didn't bring it to hurt anyone. After that, I would tell the teacher and follow the school's rules. I would also help Marcus understand why it wasn't okay to bring it to school and support him if he was feeling upset.

If I was an LSE in class and would see him showing the penknife, I would firstly in a calm manner ask him why did he bring it in class, then I would take it safely. I would then tell the teacher that he brought the knife with no bad intentions. Both me and the teacher, together with the SLT would explain to him that it is not safe to be brought to school, and next time he wanted to show something related to a project he is doing at home, he would have brought a photo so that he can safely share and talk about with anyone.

As an LSE, I would ensure the penknife is safely removed and follow the school’s safeguarding procedures. I would consider Marcus’s age, ADHD and the context of the incident before deciding on a punishment. I would support a proportionate, restorative approach that helps Marcus understand the risks and prevents the incident from happening again, while keeping him engaged in education.

I would keep everyone safe, listen to Marcus's side of the story, involve his parents, and use a fair consequence with support instead of immediate suspension.

I would ask him to come with me alone and make him understand slowly and kindly that he can’t bring sharp things like that at school as someone can get seriously hurt.
