My mum has recently retired from teaching, she thinks this is a dreadful idea. It's dangerous on both legal and moral grounds.
as far as i know most of the things that require a parents permission are for activities outside school hours so are not covered by in loco parentis


I agree that it could be dangerous on legal and moral grounds but if it is restricted to the head teacher only and for very specific reasons such as bulying or even watching porn in class then i wouldn't have a problem ,because as a parent if i found that on my sons phone i would remove it
