    You clearly have a lot of faith in humanity if you think parents are always able to feed their kids properly. Heck, a lot of them don’t even eat actually healthy stuff themselves.

    A teacher sending a message like this is trying to help, not to “snack shame”, and reactions like this will lead to even more teachers who don’t care anymore and do the bare minimum.

    That’s a steep price for being “hurt by snack shaming” (whatever the fuck that even is).

      Notes on children’s items is not the method of communication a teacher should be using. As a parent with kids in elementary school, there are 1on1 checkins, assemblies, notifications, community leaders, and more other methods the teacher could have used to discuss this with the parent.

      There was zero reason to start labeling the kids lunchbox.

      I don’t think parents always make smart decisions, I think that parents who have the means to send their children to school with lunches should be able to make their own decisions. Sometimes parents can’t afford “healthier” options and just send their child with what they have which should also be fine, considering paying for school lunches can be more expensive than buying bulk sandwich and chips
