[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a middle schooler who knew he/she was breaking the rule? Teacher absolutely should have thrown out food to make a point. You should be upset with your child for being so disrespectful in school.[/quote]

Thanks. I am OP and actually the teacher in the scenario. I threw out food twice this week (only times it's happened this whole school year).

Student 1 has a history of eating in many classes, knows it's not permitted, does no classwork, gets detention, no interventions have helped.

Student 2 has not done it before but knows it's against the rules, and has had other regular disrespectful behavior/ challenging me in the classroom.

No, I don't have any large scale classroom management issues. Thankfully, this week was an anomaly. At least one of the times was after lunch, and I wouldn't have done it if it was a hunger situation or lunch food (they were small bags of chips). [/quote]

You sound judgemental to the point of ignorance. Kids grow at different rates and have different needs than you. They might be annoying kids but please remember that they are kids and not adults. For whatever reason they are hungry and you should put a little more thought and  compassion into your thinking here besides 'classroom management'.[/quote]

If your child cannot make it through the day without eating, get a note from your doctor requesting that your child be allowed to go to the Office to eat their healthy (protein, fat and carb) snack at the same time each day until their growth spurt is over.  A bag of chips anytime the kid wants is not a solution that is good for your teenager’s self control.  [/quote]
