[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is so DCUM.  Reminds of when a friend of mine was insisting that her preschool teacher police her son's eating.  She wanted him to eat vegetable first, then protein, then carb, because that is the order in which she served food at home, and she did not want him filling up on the more desirable carb item.  The teacher refused to do it because she didn't have time, and I thought my friend was absolutely crazy for trying to control that outside of her home.

Here we have the opposite scenario: a teacher is taking the time to ensure that kids eat the nutritious portion of their lunch first and dessert last.  It's reasonable.  [b]She doesn't know what's in the cookie, just that it's a cookie[/b].  The kid has the same amount of time to eat, it's just being asked that she eat a specific item -- which looks like dessert -- last.  And we have a parent flipping out because they don't want their kid being required to eat dessert last.

I feel so bad for teachers who have to deal with all of these insane parents.  Just let. it. go.[/quote]

That’s why people are saying, let the teacher know what’s in it and that it’s part of lunch. NBD unless the teacher is on a power trip.[/quote]
