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?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

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

Originally posted by doodab View Postwe're talking about mini cheddars, which are savoury cheese flavoured biscuits, not sweets or cakes. They are no more unhealthy than having mayonnaise or butter in a sandwich, or a pepperami or similar meat snack or those squeezy yogurts targeted at kids. Banning them is ******* ridiculous, and suspending a kid for 4 days because of it even more so.Comment

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.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

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.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
