And it should be fine for a teacher to "take your responsibility"; for a teacher does act in loco parentis, something which you should probably know.

Yes indeed but only on the school premises or on an official trip away from the school.

Not in a nearby shop during school hours.

That is the point that most people are deliberately overlooking because to address it they would have to acknowledge that my view was the correct view. And some people won’t do that come hell or high water.
