My kids went to a Lutheran school for a while till I pulled them out.
Prinicple was having an affair with second grade teacher, very nasty.
There were other reasons as well.
When my daughter was 5 or 6 she was in the after school program as I worked.
The kids brought their lunch. Now Alicia has always been one of those people that eats tiny meals, but lots of them. She is not fat or thin, she is just right, she models and does acting, she does not have a weight hang up.
Anyway here is this poor little kid with her lunch. I always packed 5 things in my kids lunch, a fruit, a snack, sandwich, maybe a salad or soup and a drink. This day she had a soup, sandwich, grapes and cookies plus the drink. She eats some of the soup, some of the sandwich, some grapes and starts eating her cookies. The teacher tells her to finish her soup and sandwich, Alicia tells her she is full. Teacher places hand over her thermos and says "if you are full, no soup, no sandwich, no cookies will go in" my brilllalnt daughter says to her teacher "it's my lunch and I will eat what I want" . She had to stand in the corner for three hours.
When I got there and teacher told me what she said I laughted and told her "that is correct, it is her lunch and she can eat the cookies first if she wants and if that is all she wants that is all she needs to eat" . Teacher said "we try and teach our pupils good eating habits". I told her that Alicia could eat what she wanted and from now on maybe I would just pack her cookies, candies and more snacks in her lunch and that she had better NOT be in the corner again for eating her own lunch which I packed.
I was so mad at that teacher. imagine trying to dicate what this poor kid could eat and how much and then putting her in the corner. I put that teacher in her place. Alicia and I still laugh about that.
