So, if we send children to school with four packets of mini cheddars, will they get two weeks off school during term time, for a holiday. Only joking of course I know this would not happen. :-D |

I remember when I was at primary school in the 60s no one had packed lunch and we had to eat what we were given (no choice that I remember) |

I agree Sylvia, I really think moderation is needed over this issue of healthy school lunch boxes. I really can't see that a pk of mini cheddars should lead to a child being excluded from school for four days!!! If the school feels so strongly about this matter perhaps they should issue all parents with a list of acceptable foods for their children's daily picnic - bit like getting a diet sheet from the surgery when you're trying to lose weight! then this problem wouldn't arise. |

It may not be classed as healthy eating to give a child a pack of mini cheddars in his lunch box but it could have been something worse, ie a chocolate bar . Do not get me wrong I am all for healthy eating but, who gives schools the right to say what someone elses child should or should not eat. |

Many people ignore the law that bans the use of mobile phones when they are driving because it doesn't suit them to obey it so why would anybody take notice of that one. |

I think school's put policys in place for a reason, n iv been on school trips were iv witnessed one 6 year old have 4, yes 4 bars of chocolate in her packed lunch, I support the schools healthy eating policy because its better for our children, |

Certainly not defending the school but I do feel the need to point out it isn't the schools fining people for taking kids on holiday it's the government. Two different things. So no double standard. |

So, you want a few days away in term time. You don't want to pay a silly fine so what else can you do? |

I agree that the child should not have taken mini cheddars in his lunch box but not allowing him in school for 4 days!!!! If the parent had taken the child out of school for a holiday they would have been fined. Double standards here I think. Just my opinion. |

I think this is very hard on the child - but I can't believe it was done without a previous warning to the family. Surely there must have been a previous occasion when the family were told that they must provide a better meal or else? |
