This is a total BS made up RX. However, [b]the preschool teacher[/b] is suffering from something. I think it's control issues.[/quote]

Fixed your typo for you. [/quote]

Case in point. Control issues. Thanks for controlling my ability to express my disagreement.[/quote]

Fair point but OP has done no controlling here. She has 
1. sent lunch with her child 
2. asked DCUM if she should say anything regarding teacher preventing her kid from eating her lunch

On the other hand 
Preschool teacher stopped child from eating cooking after eating their sandwich (Ops child had in fact eaten the sandwich first so we are not talking about preventing a desert first situation) saying they must eat healthy food before eating cookie. . And maintained this stance in the face of an upset child.  Responded to other parents concerns about similar behavior with their children with and email about „classroom“ policy. 
Teacher is the one exerting control here.

One of the primary requirements of a teacher is control of their classroom. [/quote]

Micromanaging a child’s lunch is definitely not a requirement though.  [/quote]

How many classrooms full of 4 year olds have you managed ever? [/quote]

I take my teachings from ECE who’ve managed many classrooms and schools. According to them,  telling a child she must finish „healthy“ foods before eating dessert is not good childhood feeding practice. It can have a number of negative effects including teaching children to ignore their hunger signals, treaching kids that healthy food is less desirable and dessert food is more desirable.

I trust their professional judgement.  There are no classroom management issues here. [/quote]
