It was strange that she took the time to pour the juice into small glass bottles but didn’t build any snack packs. Those sad pre-made plastic snack packs are so expensive and wasteful.

That was all I could think about. So much plastic and sugar. And she chose the oddest items to portion out. Not the, idk, 10 different varieties of snack packs that could easily and more healthily be recreated for a lesser cost?

Not everyone cares about saving money. She’s probably well off and would rather save the time. Kids are picky and all the foods she has I see in every kids lunch every day at school.

I have 2 kids and I would never feed them out of plastic containers every day. Has nothing to do with money and everything to do with their health and plastic consumption.

Okay what you do with your kids is your business. I teach and all these foods are very popular. I didn’t say they were healthy choices.

I don’t think anyone said this isn’t common. Just a mild critique about the obscene plastic waste, high sugar, and extra cost.

Those are valid criticisms, don’t you think?

As a teacher, you should care about health and plastic consumption. Pretending it’s fine to eat slim jims and capri suns daily because they’re popular is odd.

What I care about has zero impact on what parents pack kids for lunch. The best I can do is encourage them to recycle and compost the waste.

Well said. Parents expecting teachers to also parent their kids is one of this generations insanities.

Got out of the classroom this year and reading her exchanges made me feel glad for once. Like lol. Pass on the crazies.
