    I'm having some mini cheddars in solidarity now!
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Take it easy though. Those things could kill you.

        Suspending a 6yo is nonsense regardless. It is the parents breaking the rules - rules I'm not certain the school has the authority to make - not the child.

        Presumably we'll see the parents appeal to the EU or something next

        I thought all schools were now offering free school lunches anyway. Ban packed lunches?

              From September, all KS1 children will be entitled to a free school meal. That doesn't mean that you will be forced to take one, though.

                So, the "story" is that the parents kept breaking the school rules, and having been warned about it, the child was excluded from school.

                  Are you sure? I was under the impression that additives, sugar etc were known to cause a lack of attention and hyperactivity etc? I am not an expert in this field though so I might be wrong.

Banning them is ******* ridiculous, and suspending a kid for 4 days because of it even more so.
                  No, you have missed the point. We are talking about someone who continually refused to follow the rules laid down by the school and has now been punished. You do not get to pick and choose the rules you follow.

                    Schools don't have to allow packed lunches, or do they? If they allow it, then telling you what you can bring doesn't really seem right - but telling you you can't bring a lunch at all seems better. Maybe that's just me. Still not fair to penalise the kid for the parents' actions though.

                      There are lots of studies showing that sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity. Some additives might, but the "sugar high" is a myth.

                      If this is the sort of muddle headed madness the school is codifying into rules then parents have every right to dispute them IMO. Although I suppose it's perfect preparation for life in modern Britain.
