Because they don't eat at school it assumed they don't eat? Hint: some of us do feed our kids.
So, are parents supposed to be responsible for ANYTHING?
Just damn.
If these publik indoctinatocrats had their way, a child would be taken away from their parents at 5 years old to be housed, fed, medicated, and totally indoctrinated according to the dictates of their "professional organization" (read union).
Starting in September, our oldest began 10th grade, after homescool all the way til this. He alternates between bacon / toast (a la Dad) and a bowl of sugar bomb cereal and whatever else he can scarf.
The boy is as healthy as can be, At 16 he is 6'2"160#. Has had very little sick spells
Hey, it takes a village to raise a child. And unless these kids are taken away from the potentially conservative influences of their parents and placed under the care of the liberal Philosopher-Kings, how else will they become enlightened leftists?
5 is way too old. I think they would like them by 2
At two, they still may not be talking well, still sucking pacifiers, or not completely potty-trained. At two, some kids still like to be rocked to sleep or carried around when tired.
If the leftists wait until kids are five, most of those time-consuming tasks will have abated.
After all, leftist DON'T want to work too hard.
This is pure leftist thinking. A long time ago, my mother taught me this when young white college-trained (leftist) teacher began to come into black elementary schools (official segregation was ending). They ALWAYS thought the kids were hungry or something. My mom said, "You can't teach a child if you pity them. They may be eating the wrong things or at strange hours, but they are not coming to school hungry." These same misguided people are with us today. And make no mistake, the ones who put them up to this want to make all of slaves. They want to control everything you do, from what you eat, how much you eat, to how many times you can flush a toilet. Never be afraid to confront these people. Some are well-meaning but misinformed. Others want you on your knees in front of them.
Yeah but believe it or not, there was a discussion awhile back to get 2 y/os into head start.
If the school cafeteria food I've seen (and smelled) is any indication, I'm surprised it's that high. And to equate school food with nutrition; well, if that isn't a stretch, I don't know what is. Why is it that school officals think that all parents are deadbeats? Oh wait a minute, it's Auburn...
Yeah....I was going to put "commies" in the heading, but didn't....
Thus is why my children will NEVER see the inside of a publik skrewl.
Toasted cheese sandwiches are easy, fast, and healthy, especially if slogged down with some decent oj.
"School policies on eating in classrooms also may have to be revisited, he added."
Well, when I was a youngster (admittedly a long time ago) we always ate our lunch at our desks in school. A metal milk basket full of fresh cold milk cartons was brought to the room, and the teacher handed out the milk, and supervised the class.
All of us brought lunch from home, too. There were no school lunches provided. I would assume that today, a nutritious bag lunch could be provided by the school for those kids with parents too lazy to make a lunch.
This just can't be that hard a problem to solve, folks.
Yeah, but it's pretty hard to ruin toast, eggs, grits, etc.
LUNCH is where true school-food nastiness is on display.
Yes....I wondered the same thing about the "nutritional value" of a school meal.....I'm thinking maybe I'll stop in at one of our local schools here (Auburn)....I don't have any kids in school.
We decided that at 16, our oldest was ready for it. So far, so good.
The number two son is doing well in home, still.
My kids will not touch anything their school cafeteria puts out. They actually feel sorry for the kids who have to eat the lunches.
