School in England places ban on cartwheels, handstands
Wednesday, June 17, 2015
A British School has banned a staple of childhood play, for fear of the students safety.
The Old Priory Junior Academy in the UK banned students from doing cartwheels and handstands.
They took that action after they said several students suffered "minor back and wrist injuries while attempting cartwheels and handstands during recess."
Parents at the school are calling the ban ridiculous and silly.
The school says the gymnastic ban will stand.
