Another wears a cape and wants to be acknowledged as a moon. At another secondary school in England, a pupil insists on identifying as a horse. The Telegraph has discovered that a pupil at a secondary school in the South West is insisting on being addressed as a dinosaur. Inquiries by this newspaper have established that other children at other schools are also identifying as animals, and the responses of parents suggest that the schools in question are hopelessly out of their depth on the question of how to handle the pupils’ behaviour. The incident at Rye College, first reported by The Daily Telegraph yesterday, was not a one-off. The Year 8 pupils were told they would be reported to a senior leader after their teacher said they had “really upset” the fellow pupil by telling them: “You’re a girl.” Difficult as it may be to believe, children at a school in East Sussex were reprimanded last week for refusing to accept a classmate’s decision to self-identify as a cat.
