Jesus fucking Christ…….what’s going on in their heads to make that.

Christ. Is this a trend if they’re needing to send an email? Did your daughter know about it?
Surely if the intention is to use it as a weapon you’d just … bring a blade in?
Tell your daughter that you’re supposed to use two sharpener blades in the end of the crayon
To note, this seems to be a reworded version of an email from a US school sent in 2011. There are stories on Google going back even further of kids smashing pencil sharpeners to mess with the blade.
But sure let’s blame TikTok.
Probably just playing knifey/spooney.
I find it strange that this has to be notified to parents. I’m in a school where the ban on knives is in the school rules. Over the years I’ve been here, if a student brings in a knife, it’s dealt with between the school and the parents. It seems to me that sending this message to all the parents would just cause a panic…
Guards should be called and the child in possession arrested and charged. (If this whole thing is real, which it may not be – this is the Internet after all, and there’s nothing identifiable on that image).
ah i still remember when my first crayon shiv was confiscated from me, how time flies
Unusually worded message from a school. Having been on a BOM I think that this message may be fake.
Jesus.
Happened in my school. Two lads would pass each other in the corridor and try to slice each other’s jacket with a shank. Got into trouble when they looked like unraveling mummies. Goofy but someone could get hurt.
Surprised this is in your daughter’s school.
Manufacture of improvised weapons for the craic is pretty common in all boys schools. When I was in school 20 years ago lads were melting razor blades into toothbrushes after watching OZ, there was no malice in it – you just did it to show your mates. Maybe slice a few cardboard boxes in the yard at lunch because you’re bored.
WTF when did Irish schools become like a prison from an American low-budget movie?
Reply them and add the “Do you want to see the pencil disappear” scene from The Dark Knight movie. Anything can be used as a weapon, even sponge to clean the blackboard.
EDIT : it’s fine see pokemiss reply below

Wow that’s a little….
twisted
another thing I can think of is that some kid probably needed a box cutter but had to come up with this
Eh… we used to make stuff like this in school 20 years ago just for fun and to cut out shapes to make darts from thumbtacks and paper, there was never a nefarious thought behind it it was just cool to make. People are so paranoid these days. Are those kids in that school allowed exacto knives or scalpels? People need to chilllll.
Fuck me that’s like prison weapons
My brother and his friends used to sharpen their pencils til they were stabby and get each other with them. They still have lead marks like tattoos, my brother has 2 on his hand and one big one on his arm. He’s 40 this year so it’s been going on a while. This is next level scary though, actual blades in a twistable of all things 😳
What if someone places it to mess up with someone else. Bags / belongings are not always kept under strict watch!!
What school?? Mountjoy?? 👀

Young boys are dumb as fuck. In second class one of the lads discovered you could remove blades from the pencil sharpeners. A handful of us cut each other and acted like we were in WWF. Great craic! Until of course the teacher copped what was happening and gave us a bollocking. Boys will be boys.
I used to love taking the blades out of sharpeners when I was in primary school. I used it as a tool not a weapon. I would cut string or tape and sticks. It never crossed my mind to use it as a weapon.
I still carry a mini swiss army knife keyring with a little blade and little scissors on my keyring. It’s just a really handy little tool.
Yeah, a student did this in a class I was supervising a couple years ago. That particular group went through an entire phase of copying how people make things in jail… makeup, tattoos etc. it was wild. Also, management was slow to react because they didn’t know what a “shank” was when I reported it and didn’t think to ask. Scary stuff.
What the actual fuck.
This was a thing in my secondary school in the midlands.. but it was pencil sharpener blades and bics or similar pens.. im in my 30’s now so its not new.. scumbags will be scumbags
It’s a new deadly game the kids are playing, the guys who mark your walls for dog theft taught them how to play it
Snitches get stitches, Mom!
Fucking hell. We just used to put a ruler under the clip of the pen and pretend it was a plane. How times change.
This shit in many shapes and forms is circulating the internet for ages. Some people get off to a cheap thrill of scaring the others with some fake news. I bet if you ask where this was found “last evening” and who has it in their possession now and why the Gardai weren’t called – you’ll get blank stares in response.
I once saw John Wick kill three men in a Gaelscoil… with a Twistable
Twistables are for kids like sub 12 years. This is obviously BS unless your kid is just an evil shit.
What an overreaction by the school. I remember sticking the blade from a pencil sharpener into a pen in school to just slice up paper and banana peels and stuff. Kids just love playing with knives and messing with things.
Is it wrong to be more concerned by the fact that apparently the school was under the impression that parents needed to be reminded that kids building shivs is something that is actually not cool?
Used to happen in my secondary 10+ years ago. Ppl would remove the nib from a stablo highlighter and put the blade from a sharpener or craft blade from art in and then would still be able to close the lid. Nothing bad ever happened just full time mad lads being full time mad lads
