Is there a need for a panic button in all classrooms?

It has been reported that one school in Birmingham has had panic buttons installed in classrooms because the staff are scared by the violent behaviour by some of the students.

Teachers are furious over the behaviour of some students and have gone on strike this week,  with a second strike planned next week because they are fearful for their safety.

But do you think that arming staff with panic buttons only instills fear or is it crucial for a teachers safety?

Should all schools have panic buttons?
