[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

If that’s what the parent packs. If you want to start making lunch for them, go do it. [/quote]

[b]You don't have to deal with the aftermath of hungry and irritable kids.  You just don't get it.

DCUMers really live in a bubble and are naive as to what the "real" world is like and the pure junk that most parents pack. [/quote]

Actually…this whole long thread is about a parent who didn’t want her kid left hungry and upset. We do get it. [/quote]

OP isn't a parent "who didn't want her kid left hungry and upset."  What OP wants is for her DC to do whatever she wants, not what the teachers asks.

Good luck with that.  [/quote]

Nope there’s a huge difference between expecting teachers to stay in their lane and not interfere with a student’s lunch and letting a dc do whatever she wants. Of course when it comes to classroom instruction she should respect the teacher. But the teacher is not a nutritionist or an expert in childhood feeding and she should not interfere with the parents prerogative. Never thought I would have to give clear instructions that my child should be allowed to eat her food in whatever order she wants (seems like a no brained) but I guess that is necessary?  (Hopefully not when we get to preschool.)[/quote]
