Obviously, I don't know what all the other kids are eating, but I bet they have granola bars and juice boxes in their lunch as well. Isn't that just standard kid fare? I would have asked her what she considered healthy, and what was so different about the other kids lunches, because without knowing the context, it seems really random to say.Marianne (frenchfriestoflaxseeds)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04164021241806320844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669101668607774803.post-28235873146689236502009-11-07T10:31:52.844-05:002009-11-07T10:31:52.844-05:00Krista- As a teacher I would never make a comment ...Krista- As a teacher I would never make a comment like that.

It is one thing that she feels she has a right to say something (which she doesn't), but it's even worse that she felt the need to compare to other people.

BUT, with that said the way she went about it was uncalled for and out of line. She should not have called what you send him to school junk. Instead she should have asked you how his eating habits were at home or maybe taken a closer look to see that what you are sending him is indeed healthy for children. I completely agree with your reasoning for sending him to school with the food that he will eat. Rather than veggies getting thrown out. I see it all the time. Kids like other foods over veg.<br /><br />Yes, she was out of line - but I do commend her for being concerned about his eating. Did she speak to you about it like a sensible adult? No.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669101668607774803.post-54169622168020515082009-11-06T09:42:51.566-05:002009-11-06T09:42:51.566-05:00I think the teacher is rude to say that! you'r...I think the teacher is rude to say that! you're DD's mom and obviously you want the best thing for your kid, so she has no right to say such a statement.
