[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question where the circumstances matter.

[b]If my child is eating in class, and it is not time to be eating, then I [i]expect[/i] and[i] support[/i] the teacher in requiring my child to turn over the food to be thrown away or for the teacher to require that my child get up and throw away the food.[/b]  If my child leaves food in a desk or in a cubbie and it is perishable food then, again, yes, the teacher should throw it away.

Give some background, OP, otherwise I think you're just trying to stir up trouble and pick a fight with your kid's teacher.[/quote]

I disagree with the bolded. If the student is eating at an inappropriate time, then by all means make the kid go and put it away/back in their bag/in their lunchbox, but why would you insist that it be thrown away?[/quote]

Kid could be hungry - why is that a crime? I remember that when I was a kid we were supposed to only eat at certain times but I was always growing fast (5'8" by 5th grade) and I was always starving. Sometimes to the point of being uncomfortable. I was rail thin too (like 5'8" and 95 lbs).  What would punishing me have been good for? [/quote]
