[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The student who has done this repeatedly is in a nontraditional living situation and outreach has not been effective.

The other students parents I've just talked to at conferences. She can be very confrontational and emotional. I have been trying to build a relationship with her instead of "getting in trouble" but I should have spoken with them long ago. Honestly, I am intimidated because of the student's behavior, but I need to get over it. [/quote]

Pp above here who sometimes ate in class. Just read the details about the two incidents. I still think it is wrong for you to throw other people's food away and as a parent I would be angry if a teacher throws my child's food away, that is in perfectly good condition. You did not pay for that food, prepare it or pack it. The parent did. You could have just taken it from the kids and put it somewhere aside, and given it back to them at end of class. Throwing away just shows frustration and unwillingness to address any underlying issues. You flexed your muscle as an authority figure in a way that frankly closes door to any dialogue or reaching out to parents. In the kid's and in parent's (especially the one who did it one time) eyes you're the crazy b----- who threw his/ her lunch away.[/quote]

Oh get over yourself.  They both knew they shouldn't be eating in class.  It was a bag of chips, not "lunch".

Teach your kid some respect for rules.
