Sigh...
Image via Twitter/@LucysHallParents at a school in the UK were furious after pupils at a school were asked to vote for the 'best looking' people.
Year nine students at Hugh Christie School in Tonbridge in Kent were asked to have their say on the 'best looking boy and girl' in their year as part of their end of year celebrations.
One angry aunt, Lucy Hall, shared the form on Twitter saying it was "shocking" and that the parents were "appalled by this".
My Nephews school just sent them home with this - school is hard enough when you are 14 to create awards over best looking boy and girl. Shocking. @HughChristieSch why would you let this happen? Parents are appalled by this. pic.twitter.com/AT4ykiqB2D

As part of their end of year celebrations, the 13 and 14 year old pupils were asked to nominate their classmates in a number of categories at an awards ceremony.
Other awards included 'biggest poser', 'best couple' and 'most irritating habit'.
The school has since responded to the tweet saying that they've asked students to disregard the form. They added that:
"The member of staff responsible has been spoken to. We totally agree this was inappropriate and apologise unreservedly for any offence caused to our students and parents."
We will inform students to disregard the form. The member of staff responsible has been spoken to. We totally agree this was inappropriate and apologise unreservedly for any offence caused to our students and parents.
