You need to step back and realize that if you are in a Title 1 school, you are in that school with families who are dealing with big life issues. The teachers know it. The principal knows it. And here you come, complaining about the goddamn yogurt. Pack your kid's lunch. And, since you clearly have time on your hands, find a way to make a real, meaningful difference in these kids' lives. Because getting them some Stoneyfield isn't going to change the trajectory of anyone's life.

This must be the same person who responded to McDonald's worthlessness as food with and example of McDonald's charitable work, as if the two are remotely related. Her ability to understand and respond to improving public health at schools seems directly related to how poor are sick some people are, as if there's a connection. There's not. There's some kind of weird psychological dis-function going on here. Does anyone else think like her, or is this an anomaly?

Obviously, you're the PP with so much sand in your vagina, that you haven't laughed since at least 2011.

Just sayin...

Or, should we be banning Stonyfield too?

It's not like informed parents are telling anyone what to do on their private time -- feel free to eat all the sugary snacks you want (and pay the consequences). But when it comes to a government-run school, educated parents have every right, if not a social obligation, to set the school straight. Especially when the school isn't even following its own rules when it comes to health.

The finger-pointing by no-nothing EOTP parents looks very similar to non-studying kids making fun of smart kids for being smart. Maybe the non-studying kids also view the smart kids as being "entitled," when in reality what the the smart kids are doing is being successful.

On behalf of gentrifier parents who let their kids eat icecream and watch tv from time to time: please stop. Devote your concern to figuring out what the teachers lack and need. If you really believe the administrators are such idiots then you should probably not be in that school at all.
