[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you are all OK if the kid only eats his Lil`Debbie brownie and nothing else?  Or fruit gummies and nothing else?  Or the candy and nothing else?  Everyone here should work as a pre school teacher for a week, it's eye opening what many parents pack for lunch and how little some kids eat.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t be ok with it. And so I wouldn’t pack it. Amazing how easy that problem is to solve.[/quote]

You would think that, right? But parents pack the sweets and then are upset when their kid eats only the sugar, and their argument is that the teacher should give them more time to eat, but the kids talk half the time then eat their cookies. [/quote]

The guidance “only send food you are ok with your child eating for lunch” is more inclusive, less work on the teacher, and maintains the correct division of responsibility. That there are some parents who pack fruit snacks isn’t solved by saying the kids have to eat those fruit snacks last— those are the same parents who are going to send marshmallow fluff and Nutella sandwiches.
