A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of con cerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.

Ashcombe Primary School in Weston­super­Mare，Somerset，has t old parents that cards declaring love can be 〝confusing〞for children u nder the age of 11，who are still emotionally and socially developing.

In his February newsletter(简讯)，Peter Turner，head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.

He wrote, 〝We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in s chool this year.Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.〞

〝We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature e nough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.〞

Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Da y concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home address es by hand.

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 schoolwor k.〞

〝They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most pare nts 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 chil dren Jai, 11, and Aryan, 5, at the school，said he was 〝genuinely outra ged〞.

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.H ow are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？It’s ridiculou s.〞
