Turin school head bans fake nails

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 21 - A Turin school head teacher has banned students from wearing fake nails in the classroom saying they are unhealthy and can hurt classmates, Turin daily La Stampa reported Tuesday.
    The ban has been implemented by the head of the Tallone secondary school at Alpuignano, on the outskirts of the Piedmont capital.
    The principal, Silvana Andretta, told the paper her ban was not an order but a "piece of advice".
    "Fake nails spoil your health and can hurt classmates," she wrote on the school's electronic register.
    She said fake nails clashed with a standing order for simple and suitable school attire. (ANSA).
