Maybe she is newly pregnant and this helps with nausea.

Maybe she is trying to get pregnant and was told more frequent, small meals will help her gain necessary weight.

Maybe she was rushed and couldn’t get breakfast beforehand.

Maybe she has to work through lunch to help her students and she’s preparing for that.

I don’t see how this is a big deal at all. OP will make it a big deal for her kid, however, and that is the problem.

Maybe she could eat before or after instruction.

Maybe she doesn’t care how distracting it is. Maybe she could use critical thinking (that what AAP is mainly about).

Yes, on the list of things to be outraged at over the past year, a teacher eating on screen really should not register. Many of us are frustrated with COVID/DL/all the precautions, but please don't take that out on a teacher.

Is that MS?

Our ES AAP center starts at 9:45. That's justifiably considered late.

Posting on UB while at work is much more unprofessional than eating.

Not OP, but why should it be OK for a teacher to eat while teaching students? (The AAP connection is unnecessary.) I mean how would you feel if the teacher ate while teaching? Are students also eating? I would find it super distracting. And unprofessional.

OP, haven't you already posted about this before in other sections? I can tell it bothers you, but you've already been told to let it go.

Is this OP?

I don’t know - I don’t micromanage my AAP 3rd & 6th graders in online school.

School starts late. There’s no excuse to eat breakfast or lunch at 10:30-11 in front of the students.
If you’re judging students’ manners for citizenship skills, start by judging yourselves first and set a good example. Manners matter for everyone.

I think it's unprofessional to breathe.

Please remove the stick from your ass. You’ll be much more comfortable.

So, so glad you posted this in the AAP forum. The base teachers are already mannerly.

Grow up. This is nbd.
