A high school that banned all physical contact and romantic relationships between students is now facing frustration from some parents, according to reports.
The policy was introduced at Hylands High School in Chelmsford, U.K., in a letter sent out to parents on January 9.
Executive headteacher Maggie Callaghan has defended the policy and said the school is focused on encouraging pupils to behave professionally.
She also said that most parents and pupils support the policy as it "encourages pupils to behave professionally as any future employer would expect."
One frustrated parent, who wished to remain nameless, spoke to local media and expressed her annoyance at the new policy coming into effect.
According to the Daily Mirror, she said: "I couldn't believe it. In this day and age, I agree that inappropriate touching—hitting and punching—of course has to be dealt with. But they're not teaching students how to have a healthy relationship.
