An 11-year-old who was asked on a form at school what her teachers could do better came back with the sassiest reply.

Her dad - author Mason Cross from Glasgow - shared a photo of her hilarious answer on Twitter, and it went down pretty well.

β€œMy daughter actually submitted this feedback at school,” he wrote. β€œNot sure if I should ground her or buy her ice cream.”

Cross’ daughter wrote in the reply about what her teachers could do better: β€œNot use collective punishment as it is not fair on the many people who did nothing.

β€œAnd under the 1949 Geneva Conventions, it is a war crime.”

You go girl.

Within 24 hours, the tweet had more than 110,000 retweets and nearly 400,000 likes. Cross’ Twitter followers encouraged him to give her ice cream over a punishment.

@calamur @MasonCrossBooks I'm game to crowdfund her entire year's ice cream needs tbh.

@MasonCrossBooks @peterwsinger Why would you ground her for speaking her mind β€” and frankly I agree.

@MasonCrossBooks @AbiWilks Serious question - why would you ground her? Teacher asked for feedback, she gave it. Can't see even theoretically what's punishable here?

Cross followed up his tweet by clarifying that his daughter thinks her teacher is β€œawesome” and showed evidence of him giving her ice cream.

β€œThe people have spoken,” he wrote.

I should clarify that she thinks her teacher is awesome - it's just this aspect of the educational justice system she has an issue with.

There does seem to be a broad consensus around ice cream
