Parents and councillors angered by 'ridiculous' ban
School says some embraces 'inappropriate'
Pupils have long been banned from running in the corridors and smoking in the toilets but youngsters at a Cornish school have now been told to stop hugging each other. To the anger of some parents and the bemusement of many students, the headteacher of Callington Community College claims excessive hugging is making youngsters late for lessons and, in some cases, leading to "inappropriate" embraces.
