[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s also setting an example to the other children at the table, the importance of eating healthy first & desert last.[/b] Children watch and learn from each other and the teacher is considering the whole classroom is her direction.

Except this is the exact opposite of what children should learn. It is teaching that the other food is less rewarding and delicious, and the cookie is the "reward" for getting through the bad stuff.

This is what happens when teachers don't stay in their lane. Tell her you've consulted with a dietician and you do not want her policing any amount or order in which your child eats her lunch. Less work for her, and less harmful to everyone.[/quote]

Um, no. For most people, it's a matter of making sure they don't get full eating dessert and then don't want to eat the actual meal.

If you want the teacher to "stay in her lane" then keep your snowflake at home. Her job is to be in that lane.[/quote]

If dessert is enough to make you miss a full meal then your dessert is too big. A 100-150 calorie dessert should not make you miss your meal. A 700 slice of cheesecake- sure. Second, they were "cookies". 1 Milano that I pack in my kids lunch or a 72% mini chocolate piece are  70 and 28 calories, respectively. The latter has almost 2% of DV Potassium for an adult and 1g of protein. Eating those wont ruin lunch. [/quote]
