Too many snacks.
Yoshi:
But the point being missed here is the fact they enforced something that is not their place to enforce. How would anyone like it if someone came into their home, told them their food exceeds a certain fat content and made you sit outside away from everyone else? Thats what it is.
drmike:
However, it does seem to be the case that many parents expect schools to undertake many aspects of the upbringing of their children which when I were a lad far too long ago was firmly the parents' responsibility.
Thus the school is caught between a rock and a hard place. I don't think what's been described sounds reasonable but again when I were a lad you certainly could take a packed lunch but no fizzy drinks mainly for practical reasons mind you.
If parents took more responsibility, gave their children more time and stopped bleating about not having time to do this that and the other then I'd hope the country might be a better place.
My oath I truly am a grumpy old git.

i put a small mar's bar in my 5 yr old's lunch box about 2weeks ago and was called in to see the head master to explain to me and i quote ( its against the school's healthy eating policy ) so please don't do it again. i was bl**dy furious how dare she tell me what to give my child to eat. made me feel like a naughty school boy.
rollazuki:
Few schools locally have a NO CHOCOLATE policy.
I guess if the kids concentrate better, and dont have big sugar spikes and slumps when theyre supposed to be learning then its a reasonable idea.
muddyjames:
So let me get this right. I am kinda confused.
The kid took one too many snacks in his lunch box and wasn't aloud to eat it in the dinner hall. He was removed and sat out side and supervised whilst eating his lunch.
This is the area I am confused with. Eating his lunch in the dinner hall means the food is bad for him and has too many snacks, BUT as soon as he is supervised and out the dinner hall the food becomes healthy for him and doesn't get sugar highs etc?
A magical dinner hall then. They could make loads of money with that.
