Some of the stuff going on in our schools really does shock me!

Quote:
A boy aged 10 has been banned from his school dining hall because his packed lunch broke the government's healthy eating guidelines.

The father of Ryan Stupples is protesting after his son was forced to eat in the headmaster's office at Lunsford primary school, Larkfield, Kent, because his lunch contained two snacks, instead of one.

Ryan's lunch consisted of a sandwich, fruit, fromage frais, cake, mini cheese biscuits and a bottle of water. The cake and the biscuits broke the snack limit. They were discovered when a teacher checked his lunch box.

Michael Stupples, 41, said: "What 10-year-old boy won't get upset when he's out of a dining hall in front of everyone and made to eat his lunch in the head teacher's office?"

Malcolm Goddard, the headmaster, said: "We take healthy eating very seriously and everyone is aware of our new policies."


Checked his Mofo'ing lunch box?!?! What the hell?!

It won't be long before it gets like Equilibrium, with Gammaton Clerics encouraging children to inform on their parents' habits at home!

It's really getting beyoned a joke now but far too many aren't prepared to stand up and say enough of this bollocks.

I'm waiting for the day one of my kid's comes home after having their lunch boxes checked, I think after the last time I was at the school they won't be too happy to see me. Smile

Ive been visiting a few schools recently doing legionella surveys on their cold and hot water systems, which involves crawling round in 50 year old tank rooms that are full of dust and fibreglass and are invariably hot, i had just climbed down from a plant room and was a bit thirsty coz of all the dust, i went over to the can machine to get a drink of pop, i asked permission first just to be polite, i was refused to be allowed to buy a drink because of the healthy eating drive that is going on schools all the kids arent allowed to buy drinks from the machine i wasnt allowed to because it would seta bad example, ill get to the point my experience of schools recently has been that they need to get their heads from up their arses and start letting people make decisions for themselves including the adults that work there.

im rambling now but in another school i had to access a tank room in a roof void above a teachers desk in an office the complaints i recieved from the member of staff because she had to move were just silly. I explained what i was doing but she seemed to care more about the work she was doing than whether the children in her care would be at risk from legionnaires disease, Gillian Beckingham any one, anyhow i left the tanks and wrote in my report that a member of staff refused me access to a tank which could be a severe risk to the children at the school. i could go on ive had about three weeks of being talked to like a school child and im peed off sorry for the rant.

I remember that my brother's primary school banned children from bringing and eating crisps for lunch in their lunch boxes because "the crisps make a mess" Rolling Eyes

Very stupid indeed.

I recently read about one school where this is happening, where some of the parents take it in turn to buy a shit load of fish and chips and pass them out to the kids through the bars surrounding the school!

Good on em!

Yea, let kids eat what the advertisers want to sell them they want to eat. I mean freedom of expression how dare they prevent indivduals from choosing what they eat, after all it's an indivduals /right/ to weigh treble what everyone else does!

Or so says his parents...

I don't actually think this is a good way of making people 'healthy'. However all the good ways I can think of involve parents having some discipline with their kids and not feeding them 'bad for you' snacks all the time.
Ok, it's not a problem for all, but it is an ever-increasing problem in the UK.

Very stupid indeed.

So, did you offer to go and clean up after 100 kids dropped bits of crisps on the floor? Or to pay a cleaner to come in and do it?

Scampypants:
I suspect partly a result of the current teaching models used by the government, etc: They let you check and miss out lesson time, kids don't learn what's prescribed in the prescibed time, get worse marks and their school doesn't get as much funding, etc.


Oh and Mister James, I believe tht there have been cases of encourage children to inform on their parents at home - on stuff like drugs etc.

I'd have to agree with G on this one. When health eating is not taken seriously by parents it will inevitably put into the hands of politicians, a very bad scenario indeed.

Is that not a lot for a 10 year old to have? It's definitely more than I have for lunch.

What shocks me most is the punitive measure taken by the school, removing the child does nothing but humiliate him and make him feel that he has done something wrong when he hasn't.

I ate a bar of chocolate and a packet of crisps every day of my school life.
