Don't make us security guards, says teacher stabbed by pupil
Don't make us security guards, says teacher stabbed by pupil A teacher who thought she was going to die when she was stabbed by a 13-year-old pupil in the schoolyard has said giving staff handheld scanners will not stop violence in schools. Liz Hopkin, who was attacked at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in 2024, said she felt really worried after the Welsh government announced it would offer school staff more guidance on what to do if they suspected a pupil had brought a weapon into school. It comes as a 15-year-old boy was charged with attempted murder after a teacher was stabbed at a school in the neighbouring county. Hopkin said teachers aren't security, while the Welsh government said the resources were about prevention, building on existing guidance. Hopkin, her colleague Fiona Elias and a pupil were attacked at the school where she worked in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, by a girl who had previously been found with a knife.

Concept drift occurs when the optimal model attimetmay no longer bethe optimal model10 at timet+1. Consider an online learning problem with concept drift withT = 3 time periods and loss functions:11 f1(x) = (x 1)2,f2(x) = (x 2)2,f3(x) = (x 3)2. Figure 1: SGD online with momentum Theoretical motivation via Calibration: A more formal motivation of our regret23 can be related to the concept of calibration [1]. The comment on line 110 can be24 rewritten as: If the updates{x1,,xT} are well-calibrated, then perturbingxt by25 anyucannot substantially reduce the cumulative loss.Hence, itcan besaid that the26 sequence {x1,,xT} is asymptotically calibrated with respect to{f1,,fT} if:27 Weindeedranexperiments usingSGDwithmomentum forvariousdecayparameters andconcluded thatSGDwith36 momentum is not even as stable as SGD-online (standard SGD without momentum) as shown in Figure 1.
