[quote=Anonymous]I'm a 25 year veteran teacher, I've mostly worked in settings where kids eat in the classroom. I've had situations where a kid eats, and then goes somewhere else (e.g. out to recess), and leaves stuff on their desk, and I've thrown it out. I had a kid leave something perishable on the windowsill, and I've thrown it out when I think it's reached the time when it's unsafe. I've also taken away, and replaced food that doesn't meet a classroom allergy policy (e.g. a kid opens a peanut butter granola bar, I ask them for it, throw it out in a different room, and then replace them with some teddy grahams). I've also had at least one situation where a food has gotten so dirty that I'd consider it unsafe (e.g. dropped in the mud on a field trip), and again I've thrown it away and replaced it with something from my own lunch. In 25 years, I think they add up to a handful of times.[/quote]
