Constitutional Rights
By seuss4me

"We are allowed to tell the parents what clothes the children may wear to school (dress code) and what items they can have in their backpack (nothing that could harm another), how is asking them to bring a healthy snack any different?"

My statement was that we are not allowed to dictate what is sent in by parents. We can suggest, which is different than dictating.

If you read any of the research on consumption of sugar, you will find lots to dispute your concern about creating a disruptive atmosphere.

It is fortunate for you that you have not made a child feel embarrassed. I do know of several children who have had different experiences, however. I do not believe that a snack is worth taking that chance over.
