An American school introduced a new policy which bans its fifth-graders from dating, “to combat students having broken hearts.”Briana Bower, mother of one of the students at Riverside Elementary in Indiana, United States, took to Facebook last Thursday, Sept. 26, to air her opinion on the policy. ADVERTISEMENTShe first posed the question, “How would this make you feel?”Edit: I have never had problems with my children’s school. “[It is] pretty crazy the teachers told us that.”Bower also attached screenshots of a message from three teachers from the said school. “This leads to many broken hearts, which carry over into the classroom.”The students were then given a deadline for when their relationships must be ended. “This is not a debate on if 5th graders should be allowed to date or not.”The concerned mother stressed that broken hearts do have their purpose when she stated, “We’ve all had our hearts ‘broken’ when young.
