Kid leaves for the school bus and you notice they left their lunch sitting on the counter...

The school made her sit there with no food during lunch, watching all the other kids eat, claiming the natural consequences thing. I could not believe they didn't call the mom to ask about the lunch and let this 4 year old skip the meal.

OP, there is a cafeteria at my children's school, so they would just eat the school lunch that day. I would not bring in a library book, homework assignment, or backpack. But lunch? I'd bring that the first time they forgot if there was no backup. I forget things all the time and have a car to turn myself around to retrieve it. They don't have that option, so I'm willing to help them out from time to time.

My kid would be out of that preschool so fast they wouldn't know what was happening. Even if it didn't happen to her.

Whatever happened to teaching children kindness and compassion? No wonder the world is in the state it's in.

I agree that its not acceptable in preschool., Given the name of this forum we're dealing with a kid between 11/12-18, which is completely different.

Teaching to be mean and making someone go hungry when there's food available is unacceptable at ANY age.

Who said they'd have to go hungry? I assume the kid has friends they can borrow some lunch from or money from if they don't have an account at the school that has money in it. It's a good lesson in problem solving for someone old enough to learn it and not be damaged because mom didn't bring their lunch which they left behind.
