The Sense Maker From Tortoise

Most of the protests involve walkouts and picketing, but some pupils have been accused of dangerous behaviour. Head teachers say that these protests are being fuelled by the use of mobile phones in schools with videos on social media encouraging copycat behaviour. A TikTok spokesperson told Tortoise that they are monitoring the situation carefully, but that the majority of videos show peaceful demonstrations which do not violate any guidelines. It's important not to exaggerate the scale of these protests - currently they're happening at a small minority of schools. And although one school has reversed its new uniform policy following a protest, so far most are sticking by their rules.
