Twitter’s Loving the 11-Year-Old Who Accused School of War Crimes
Ava Bell, an 11-year-old, called the collective punishment meted out in schools a war crime!
Ava Bell, an 11-year-old Scottish girl definitely, doesn’t like collective punishment meted out in schools. And her note, likening it to a war crime, has gone viral on social media.
Her father, Gavin Bell (also known as author Mason Cross), shared on Twitter how she did an epic takedown of her school on a pupil feedback form.
She criticised the policy of punishing a whole class for one person's bad behaviour citing the Geneva Conventions. Her dad, meanwhile, was left wondering whether he should ground her, or buy her ice cream.
The picture, shared on Twitter, has since been "liked" more than 500,000 times and retweeted about 1,50,000 times.
He settled for the ice cream, later.
Twitter, of course, was full of interesting reactions to the whole story.
It remains to be seen how desi kids, used to this kind of punishment, will react to the story!
