Lincoln school rips out mirrors to get kids back in class

A school in Lincolnshire removed mirrors from bathrooms to address punctuality issues after students reportedly delayed lessons by congregating in restrooms, according to Headmaster Grant Edgar.
Parents have criticized the measure, with one parent expressing concern about her daughter needing a mirror for contact lenses, while another supported the change for its impact on timeliness.
In 2023, Christopher Whitehead Language College replaced mirrors with posters about make-up, leading Headmaster Neil Morris to later admit this decision was a mistake after facing protests.
Child psychologist Emma Kenny stated that students should be involved in decisions that affect their lives, highlighting that removing mirrors might not address underlying issues.
