Primary school children asked not to send Christmas cards.
The headteacher of a Lincolnshire Primary school has asked children not to send Christmas cards to their friends in order to help save the environment.
He has suggested in a letter to parents that children send a single card to the class instead of individual ones. The school will also be removing its Christmas cards post box.
One parent believes the idea is Grinch-like and compared the headmaster to Scrooge from a Christmas Carol. Another thought that the school had good intentions at heart, but could have gone a better way about it.
Parents talked about it and most of them agreed it would have been far better if the school helped the children understand the importance of recycling Christmas cards. Rather than suggesting they aren’t sent to friends.
