👉 A classroom weapon, often referred to as a "classroom tool" or "discipline instrument," is a specific item used by educators to manage student behavior and maintain order within the learning environment. This tool can vary widely, from a whistle or a verbal warning to more physical items like a stun gun or a locking device attached to a student's clothing. The primary purpose is to enforce rules, prevent disruptive behavior, and ensure safety without resorting to physical violence. The selection and use of such a weapon are typically guided by school policies and should be employed as a last resort, aiming to de-escalate situations and reinforce positive behavior.
