DD came home today - had had a great time as the army (2 soldiers) had visited and spoke to the 3 classes in her year - giving out stickers, pencils, children trying on camouflage stuff/helmets etc and holding a gun.
First thing we knew re: this was when DD said at hometime said "I want to join the army", when asked why she said "so I can kill people"
BUT I do realise this would NOT have come from the soldiers.
Didn't know beforehand about this from the school and if had wouldn't have stopped her joining in.
But is this a bit early for "recruiting"?
or
is it simply a fun visit for the children and great for the school as it is fun and free and the school needs visits like this budget-wise??
BTW DD is 5 and in Reception. What do you think?
