"No Oreos for YOU!"
Posted by Non_mooching_artist 8 years, 11 months ago to Education
A little bit of overstepping the bounds of administrators' duties, it appears to me. No one but I have a say in what I feed my family. Assumed risk! If my kids eat too many Oreos, they'll get fat. One portioned bag, on the other hand, isn't going to be terribly detrimental to the health and well being of a 4 year old.
The micromanaging of others' lives has really got to cease! What inflated sense of power drives this ridiculous meddling!? Nanny state, busy body-ness, what ever the label, it's no one else's business but my own. And the whole comment about if there is a potato, there HAS to be bread?! I don't do that at my home because its too much starch and carbohydrates! Ridiculous!! This just burns my biscuits! Leave us alone!!!

The Nanny needs to be reminded about who pays her wages. These busy bodies have no business doing this. Even if we give benefit of doubt, or excused this nonsense as good intentions, how do they know what the rest of the kids diet is during the day? It doesn't take a village! It takes a good parent and that parent should have the right to treat their child as they see fit. Children are not property of the collective.

How are you these days, OA? :-)

Kick off your shoes and grab your wife!
I sometimes wonder what people in admin jobs enforcing this nonsense would do if institutions like schools would become efficient and freestanding. What would they do with their day?
Efficiency removes meddlers because they are a detriment.
This preschool doesn't have a website that I could find, making me think they may be a lower-end place. Unfortunately the parent has to take this letter in and tell them this is unacceptable.
A similar scenario led us to sue a school. We moved to another school that we've used for two years with no problems. When we interviewed the second school, I asked questions like, "what's your philosophy on when kids should eat." The answer I was looking for was no strong theory. If the answer is, "It's *so* important that kids eat at such-and-such times..." I look elsewhere. We have two schools that are working great for the moment, but I'm aware that this crap may start at any moment, and then we change schools.
