And if you read the other primary article that this Yahoo one is based of off you realize that there's much more to it than one headmaster.
And if you read everything the Greenberg lady linked as the basis of her claim that banning best friends is a trend in Europe you will see she did the exact same thing as the Yahoo article and pulled a bunch of BS clickbait out of thin air. She gives zero evidence that this is some kind of trend.
This is what was linked in her article.

My nephew's school is doing something similar. At lunch, instead of sitting with their friends and enjoying the little downtime they get in school, they are now assigned to sit next to someone different everyday. They are also given cards that have questions and conversation pieces for the kids to use to get to know one another.
All of this because one of the teachers felt that some kids were being left out. I mean, I guess it sounds like a good idea. But the kids are kind of pissed. They get 30 minutes for lunch to chill out and interact with their friends. Now they're being forced to sit next to someone they don't know, and probably don't care to know, and use pre-printed conversations.

Well, two posters in this thread have already stated that similar things are being done at their kids' schools. Why are you so determined to characterize this as an isolated incident?

The type of person to create and push this rule is the type of person who nobody ever wanted to be friends with and instead of learning how to make friends blamed everybody else.

That’s a damn shame. Every kid needs a Hank Mardukas.

This shite started years ago, when I was in school, when they started telling us that if you brought invitations for birthday parties and such to school, you had to bring them for the entire class.

Millennials and Boomers catch a lot of grief on here and elsewhere, but it's the Gen Xers that are predominantly doing this and fricking with kids' development and discipline. It's time we start calling out that generation of lunatics.
