    Outrage bait over literally fucking nothing as usual. Just a parent getting uppity that someone else judged their parenting, then social media and media blowing it up with a combination of narcissism and anything negative about teachers/education is signal boosted due to being in the political crosshairs lately. The kid is 3, they don’t give a shit about the teacher writing on their snack and will have forgotten about it in like 2 days.

    If they were just having donuts or something for lunch - and especially if it was causing behavioral problems with that kid or otherwise disturbing class - then sure. But Pringles? Assuming those were a side and not the entire lunch, especially, but even so…

    But this seems like overreach, albeit well-intentioned

    Definitely over stepping. Sure, if’n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it’s not too bad.

    Context is important here. Considering the rest of the kids lunch was pretty reasonable the teacher absolutely ovestepped.

    I get it. Some parents don’t want their kids even seeing other kids eat “unhealthy” snacks. But there isn’t a clear consensus on what’s healthy and what’s not.

      pringles are extruded potato starch, flavoring chemicals, coloring chemicals, and salt. there’s literally nothing healthy in a pringles can.

        If you think there aren’t “chemicals” in the healthy food you eat every day I have some bad news for you.

        If you keep tennis balls in the can and then play tennis, there’s something healthy in the can…🤷‍♂️
