[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As many awful things the generations past committed, I long for the days when children just f***** did what the teacher says. Why must every parent have precisely their preferred method and manner of childcare rendered in their absence? Why must the rest of us suffer because your child cannot handle listening to their crotchety old teacher the rest of the children accept? Must everything be custom to your child?[/quote]

Back in the day, teachers didn't micromanage lunch so there was no issue.  No need for customization here.  Everyone is allowed to eat what their parents give them in whatever order they like. Period.

Less work for the teacher. No need to figure out if something is desert or not.  Much less work for the teacher than dealing with unhappy kids and unhappy parents.

Alternatively provide lunch and serve the lunch in the order you'd like.   (although in many schools all of lunch is served at once and kids eat what they want in the order they like - which goes back to WHY oh WHy is this teacher micromanaging lunch when it is completely unnecessary.)

Teachers were wiser in the good old days. :) [/quote]
What are you talking about? Does nobody remember grandma insisting “you won’t eat your dinner if you eat a cookie now”? I have no sympathy for parents who determined their child is too fragile to obey teachers lest their child be exposed to even mild frustration or (horrors!) even eye-rollingly dumb rules of old ladies. How about just telling your kid to eat the way the teacher says *because she’s the teacher* and I promise your child will be better off than the kid whose mom bit**es at Dementia Dawn over her illogical order-of-consumption rules.[/quote]

Teachers didn’t micromanage lunch. Get over yourself. [/quote]

You missed pp's point.[/quote]

No, there is no point except that the teacher keeps her nose out of a child’s lunch. [/quote]
