No school valentine’s

I was just browsing the BBC news education section and stumbled upon this story about a primary school that has banned it’s pupils from sending valentines cards

Some people think that it is a bit of harmless fun, while others think that it can ‘emotionally traumatic’.

Isn’t it good to allow children and young people an opportunity to express their feelings?  Or should we discourage the sending of cards?  I have very fond (be it only a few) memories of receiving valentines cards at school and the excitement of it all.  Are we to be worried about these things??
