[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op you sound ignorant.  The sugar/hyper is a myth and even if it were real there is ample sugar in something like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Or fruit snacks. Are you going to ban those too? I personally wouldn’t send candy for lunch, but I could totally understand people who do, especially after Halloween.  We attended a snobby pre-k where the manual recommended certain snacks and even provided examples.  If a parent knows going into it that candy is not allowed that is one thing.  But you are arbitrarily creating a rule just bc you can’t do your job.  And worse, you’ve imposed a new requirement on a parent who did not sign up for that when they joined your school. Why do you get to dictate what people feed their kids? Sending candy with lunch might have been a fun tradition this family was looking forward to.  [/quote]

NP. I was waiting for someone to pop on here and say this. Why do people act like anything that teachers do to make their job a little easier is this terrible thing? It isn't that she "can't do her job" it's that she wants to make her job a little easier.

I'm not a teacher but I have close friends who are and it's amazing how teachers are taught to look out for their students and to look out for their families but why aren't teachers ever told to lookout for themselves?

Ignorant comments like these are why so many teachers especially ECE teachers leave the profession.

Teachers have to deal with so much shit (literally at times) and trust me they aren't paid near at all what they should be and half the time they are working outside their paid hours.

Before any comes at me yes I'm a parent of a child who is currently in a preschool setting and if his parents emailed me a rule that wasn't harmful to my child or other children and put word for word in the email it was to make her job easier I would actually commend that. I would be like good for you looking out for yourself and move on. Every other career people do things to make their jobs easier.

Trust me your child will be ok and survive without candy I promise you no child ever died from lack of candy. You can have your "tradition" of feeding your kids junk before/after school or on the weekends.

Schools have to provide some rules to set some sort of boundaries. If you are this bent out of shape over a no candy rule than sis you have a longgg road ahead of you when your child hits the age for elementary school because trust me there will be a lot more rules you have to follow and you won't agree with all of them. [b]Are you going to fit those teachers tooth and nail too [/b]because poor little Larla is just the exception to the rule and can't go without? [/quote]

Maybe, maybe not. Poster is just pointing out some things to think about. Must have touched a nerve with you. What do you care if that parent wants to question rules? You should question things that don’t make sense.[/quote]
