Bring your own snacks or accept the complimentary option.  There is nothing else to say.  These are just small portions of snacks.

Complaining about complimentary snacks just makes you sound entitled and obnoxious.  And every single school will absolutely allow you to bring in your own snacks you just may have to get them pre approved.  Some policy is not an excuse for you to keep complaining.[/quote]

I would honestly love to bring our own snacks. The whole point is these schools DO NOT allow you to bring your own snacks.[/quote]

They will allow it if you ask in the right way.  Yes, you can bring snacks.[/quote]
Is “ask in the right way” code for “make up an allergy”?[/quote]

Are you saying you don’t have a compelling reason why little Olivia can’t eat the Doritos and you would have to lie?[/quote]

Given the overall attitude and operation of the system, it is really a change for all or yes you have to make up a lie.[/quote]

Yet the reason people won’t is because their kids want the snacks and don’t want to feel singled out. So they are trying to go around it and upset the apple cart which has a low probability of success.[/quote]

No, it is because parent feedback leads to that amount of snacks.  Parents at WIS align on one packaged snack a week.  GDS, 2 a day.  Other schools are in between. If OP doesn't align with the loud voices in the room, she needs to make sure hers is counted too.[/quote]

You can’t please all the people all the time.[/quote]

Of course not, but that’s exactly why feedback matters. The current setup (which is used by all the schools we are discussing) reflects what enough people asked for.[/quote]
