If no extra legislation is needed, and the inspection of kids phones is brought in, then it'll be something else that's used when it suits, and ignored when it's inconvenient, just like every other anti-bullying strategy that's come and gone.

My mum has recently retired from teaching, she thinks this is a dreadful idea. It's dangerous on both legal and moral grounds.
