Hi While I agree that some form of restraint is sometimes called for when dealing with out of control students I feel it necessary to correct an inaccurate term that has been used.
A Swiss army knife is not a weapon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Army_knife it is a multi purpose tool that has a short blade amongst the selection of other implements available. It is not a fighting knife or an AK47! Regards G >From Bridgerule in glorious Devon, England.
