School reprimands seven-year-old boys for playing 'army game'
Activer le mode zenMurray Wardrop
"Staff at Nathaniel Newton Infant School in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, reprimanded the two boys after they were seen making pistol shapes with their fingers.
"Teachers broke up the imaginary classroom shoot-out and contacted the youngsters' parents, warning them that such behaviour would not be tolerated.
"The school, which caters for around 180 pupils aged four to seven, said the gun gestures were unacceptable and were not permitted at school.
"However, parents have described the reaction as outrageous, while family groups warned that wrapping children in cotton wool damages their upbringing."
