I had to laugh a little and was way confused on Thursday. My daughter came home from her first day of Second Grade. I asked her how it was and she began to tell me. She got to the point of the day where they have snack. She told me her teacher said her snack wasn’t healthy. I asked her why her teacher said that. She couldn’t tell me why?
It was a granola bar with some chocolate chips. It’s gluten free, and nut free because that’s what I keep in my house. I told my daughter granola is healthy if her teacher had a problem with it she should take to me not you about it. A few little chocolate chips doesn’t make the whole snack unhealthy. It’s still way better then goldfish and gummy snacks.

Teachers have no right to reprimand students on what their parents give them to eat. The school system is becoming too dictatorial.

I agree within limits. I had a middle-school student whose mother sent her to school everyday with a large bag of Skittles for lunch. We thought the girl might be stopping at a store nearby when she walked to school and spending her lunch money on the Skittles. When we approached her mother about it, the woman turned furious and told us we had no business telling her what she should give her daughter to eat. "Skittles be fruit flavored and fruits be healthy," she told us. How can you argue with logic like that.

But a teacher is not supposed to comment such on a student's tiffin

Oh wow. The key to anything is moderation anyway-even if it was unhealthy! The teacher has no right to say anything about what your child eats. And I absolutely agree that she should have went to you about it-not your little one!!
Thank God I Home School and don't have to deal with things like this every day. =)

That's insane! And I agree with you - everything should be in moderation. Chocolate chips are not in itself unhealthy if eaten in moderation and infrequently. I do agree that the teacher should speak to you about it or send you a note of what she thinks.
If ever you got to talking to her teacher about her snacks, I do like to hear what she will say on why she thinks her granola bar is unhealthy.
