School bans Valentine's Day cards - report
- School bans Valentines Day cards
- Say kids are too immature
- Kids believe bans are ridiculous
A BRITISH school has banned its pupils from sending cards on Valentine's Day, saying the youngsters are not mature enough for romance.
Ashcombe Primary School in England- which teaches students aged four to 11 - has threatened to confiscate any cards found on the premises in Somerset, southwest England, said the Times.
"Some children and parents encourage a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends,'' wrote head teacher Peter Turner in a monthly newsletter.
"We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend and girlfriend,'' he said in the letter to parents.
But the head teacher of the school, which has 419 pupils, came under fire for the Valentine card crackdown.

'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
