[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the snacking in this country is ridiculous. I teach in an ES and we have lunch at 11 am. School ends at 2:25. Parents couldn't believe we didn't have snack time in the afternoon. Um, no. Your kid can go 3-4 hrs without eating. Even my student with diabetes doesn't need to eat again before she leaves for the day. [/quote] At my kids' school, they encourage a morning snack. I didn't really want to send one along, but I think it probably helps with some of the kids' behavior issues. There aren't too many overweight kids though.[/quote] I'm the teacher who posted above. School starts at 8 am and we have breakfast in the classroom. Three hours later, we are scheduled for lunch. Three hours after lunch is dismissal. Now, the kids who have the last lunch shift bring in a snack but they don't eat until 1 pm. That makes sense to me.[/quote]
