UK - University bosses have banned lecturers from using capital letters when assigning work to their students out of fear it might upset them. The memo sent out to staff at Leed's Trinity journalism department suggested that using uppercase letters may 'scare them into failure', reports the Express. It also included some tips on how they should address their students from now on, such as writing in a friendly tone, steering clear of overbearing language and negative instructions. Critics have slammed the idea because it suggests that the 'snowflake' generation are being overindulged throughout their education. The lecturer at the university told the outlet that despite the intelligence of their students they feel that they are fighting against the education system who want to treat them like children... Adding: 'We are not doing our students any favours with this kind of nonsense.'
