The real problem isn’t that they hang around places but WHY.

Assuming the teachers are over 25. I have had at least once teacher under this age at high school, college AND university. So it wouldn't necessarily work
the developers of THAT idea obviously haven't thought it through very carefully.
Besides, its far easier to risk your phone vibrating than a silly high pitched noise that the teacher might hear.
I like the idea of punishing all in some cases, and in this one, nobody should be hanging around outside the shop so it doesn't matter if it punishes all. As somebody else mentioned, the effect on babies needs to be looked into, as some people still leave their prams outside shops if the shop is too small/doesnt allow prams inside.
I've never bothered to stand around outside a shop, that was never my thing. I don't know any shops where anyone still does it. In ossy most young people seem to hang around at the war memorial and the benches near the co-op, and both these places are not ideal for the mosquito, and so doesn't solve any problems in Oswaldtwistle.
Back to the drawing board
