Parents angry at pupils giving each other massages

Parents are angry at a school in Sheffield after they discovered pupils were being asked to massage each other before class.

Hartley Brook Primary School introduced the ‘Massage in Schools’ programme to help pupils calm down and concentrate after lunch breaks.

Whilst the head teacher, Mrs Dobson, thinks the scheme has been successful, lots of parents from the school feel it is ‘inappropriate’.

They think there might be better ways to relax pupils, such as doing yoga or listening to music.

What do you think about this? Should pupils be allowed to massage each other in school?

    I agree with the parents; that is just WEIRD. There are so many better ways to calm down!
