[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a middle schooler who knew he/she was breaking the rule? Teacher absolutely should have thrown out food to make a point. You should be upset with your child for being so disrespectful in school.[/quote]

Thanks. I am OP and actually the teacher in the scenario. I threw out food twice this week (only times it's happened this whole school year).

Student 1 has a history of eating in many classes, knows it's not permitted, does no classwork, gets detention, no interventions have helped.

Student 2 has not done it before but knows it's against the rules, and has had other regular disrespectful behavior/ challenging me in the classroom.

No, I don't have any large scale classroom management issues. Thankfully, this week was an anomaly. At least one of the times was after lunch, and I wouldn't have done it if it was a hunger situation or lunch food (they were small bags of chips). [/quote]

I am the above PP, sorry I didnt read this first.
Then I would support you throwing the food away.
Have you spoken to the parents of student 1 about eating in class already? and student 2's behavior?[/quote]
