An 11-year-old girl has accused her teacher of committing war crime by writing a note on a feedback form that evaluates the teacher.
Ava Cross wrote a precocious note on a feedback form that asked what the teacher could do to improve.
“Not use collective punishment as it is not fair on the many people who did nothing wrong and under the 1949 Genva [sic] Conventions it is a war crime,” she wrote.
Her father, Mason, an author from Glasgow, has shared the hilarious note on Twitter, where it was retweeted over 162,000 times and gained more than half a million likes.
My daughter actually submitted this feedback at school. Not sure if I should ground her or buy her ice cream… pic.twitter.com/4v8Gjb9riv

However, in another tweet, Mason clarified that his daughter is not against her teacher, but the educational justice system.
I should clarify that she thinks her teacher is awesome – it’s just this aspect of the educational justice system she has an issue with.
