His views were supported by Ruth Rice,46,who has twins Harriet and Olivia,9,at the school.
She said,“Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day,and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”
“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner.”
She added,“The cards caused too much competition.If someone gets a card and another doesn’t then he or she will be disappointed.”
However,Rajeev Takyar,40,who sells newspapers and has two children Jai,11,and Aryan,5,at the school,said he was “genuinely outraged”.
He said,“There are schools that have banned conkers (康克戏) and snowballs,and now Valentine’s Day cards.”
“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills.How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise?It’s ridiculous.”
Alec Suttenwood,founder of the Anti-Political Correctness Group,said of the ban,“It’s totally ridiculous.Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents.It’s just a bit of harmless fun.There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”
