The North Carolina school with the lunchroom nanny apologized to the child's parents late last week.
Perhaps you heard of the lunchroom nanny in North Carolina.
Well, you don’t have to go that far to find the kids’ lunch food police.
At one Woodstock elementary school, a lunchroom nanny disapproved of the brownie that a child brought with her home-packed lunch.
I don’t know the admonishment, but the little person was told by someone in authority that it was not good for her and she couldn’t eat it.
From my college days I know about the in loco parentis (in place of the parent), but the parent made the meal. The parent’s intention was clear.
Where does a District 200 employee get off telling the child he/she can’t eat a brownie?
You know, I’m a pretty peaceful person. Polite, most of the time. I do remember a conversation with Supt. Ellyn Wrzeski, with whom I never had a problem. I commented that many on her staff thought I was hard to get along with. I told her that I am hard to get along with, when her staff lies to me and blows smoke at me. (You know what I mean by “smoke”.)
This takes the cake (no pun intended). If it’s true (and why not?), that lunchroom aide should be terminated on Tuesday. Which school was it? If the parent makes the meal for her child, it is NONE of the school’s business what is in it.
The luncheon aide and the Principal both owe the student and her parent written apologies, hand-delivered on Tuesday!
That person needs to be immediately removed. Period!
That person should be terminated immediately…so naturally the Union will protect them and save their job! 🙂
