Our school recommends limiting junky snacks, and lists what is considered junky and healthier alternatives.  Some is for allergy reasons, others are for health reasons.  In an overall healthy lunch I see no problem with a small bag of Fritos.  If it's a classroom or school policy then the teacher is within her rights.  Her space, her rules.

I see one kid bring nothing but prepackaged crap for lunch.   It's sad.[/quote]

I agree that in the classroom, there can be suggestions as to what to bring. But for a teacher to have the right to take something a parent sent because they deem it unhealthy is overstepping boundaries. A note can go home to the parent suggesting that they send in something else, but it should only be a suggestion.

These types of oversteps happen in small increments until you find yourself one day defending your rights as parents of your own child against false accusations. I'd be REALLY careful with statements like "the teacher/school means well and is only trying to help"[/quote]
