[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's not necessarily trying to regulate your kid's nutrition.  She's probably more interested in regulating the classroom environment.  The teacher is making a snack is an option when the kids genuinely need food to sustain themselves rather than having a "treat time" which can be disruptive and take up class time.  Fritos are also greasy and salty, which leads to kids licking their fingers and touching things with their spit covered fingers, which is gross.  If you tell kids that they can only bring in healthy food, it discourages kids from bringing in a snack just for fun. Your kid is old enough to live without a snack so stop blaming the teacher for having limits on something that is optional.[/quote]

I'm going to make the positive assumption that your kid had a mini bag of fritos and not some 8 serving bag. BUT I have had such bad experiences with kids bringing in huge bags of chips and then doling them out to friends. It will start a mini begging/feeding frenzy. [/quote]
