[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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] The classroom is not the teacher’s space to do whatever she/he wishes. It’s the district’s space, and the teacher should follow the district’s policies, acting as an agent of the local government. If the teacher doesn’t want a snack break, that’s fine. There’s likely no policy requiring one. But if they do provide a snack break, then they need to accept what the parents provide, as long as what's provided isn't an imminent threat to the students. And no, junk food is not an imminent threat unless an allergy is involved.[/quote]
