DS's classroom has a sub for six weeks. She sent a note home saying she wanted to bring in snacks like munchkins for a reward for good behavior and to sign it if we are ok/any food allergies. I didn't send it back yet because I'm not sure if I want to be that parent who informs her what a shitty idea that is for six weeks. I'm already judging. She also sent home three completed worksheets he did yesterday. My kid loves seated table work like that so I'm not sure if that was more his doing but yeah. Judging so bad.

Will she give them to everyone BUT your kid if you don't sign? Cause that would suck...
J LOVES paperwork and workbooks and activities, B could not care less but I cringe any time they bring home something like that from preschool. I mean, they colored in patterns on a piece of paper...patterns are SO easy to do with manipulates? so we went out, bought mnms and made patterns with those and then ate some! (I hijacked your FFFC, sorry)
What are munchkins? I find it odd that she doesn't have health records of allergies from the nurse. Doesn't your school have a snack policy? That would never fly here.

Mini donuts. Sorry forget not everyone is familiar with dunkin donuts. School has a healthy snack policy so I am so confused.

Right? It was math stuff--adding written numbers, matching numbers to correct amount of animals in pictures, coloring in the right number of fruits to each corresponding number. Really you needed a fucking worksheet for that???
I'm hoping they scratch the idea if enough parents bitch. I couldn't believe it.

I'm confused. Is she wanting to use them as a reward for like everyday or is her 6 weeks up and she wants to bring he kids a special treat because it's her last day?

Our school has healthy snack policies/guidelines but pole still bring in cupcakes for birthdays etc. The cafeteria sells Doritos and potato chips?!? And chocolate milk is an option at lunch. I figure this is the norm in most public schools.
DS1 had egg hunts yesterday and today bc some kids don't go every day. We were supposed to send 12 eggs both days. Today I sent back all the ones he brought home yesterday. He only ate one and I replaced it.
I'd be pissed if my kid got donut holes from his teacher for good behavior. I don't have a problem with the occasional donut hole but as a tool for an everyday teacher? No.

I'd have no issues with a teacher bringing munchkins to treat on her last day. If it's going to be an on going thing for 6 weeks, I wouldn't be cool with that. I'm hardly the snack police but everyday munchkins is completely unnecessary. Unless they're for me

A weekly reward every Friday to encourage good behavior. I'm not so much a food nazi that I would complain about a one time thing on a teachers last day.

As a teacher, I can't imagine passing out a treat to only some kids and making the "bad" kids watch as a form of punishment. I generally don't hold subs to the same standards of a teacher, but I don't like this. I would say something to her.

I'm having a lot if trouble deciding whether or not to go back to work in the fall. My confession is that I want my husband to make the decision for me so I don't have to be responsible if I make the wrong decision.
Jack gets a snack every day in school. Each kid takes turns sending snack. I send like, Chobani Champions tubes, string cheese, you know, things appropriate to eat at 10:00 in the morning.
EVERY DAMN DAY he tells me so and so brought Oreos, Cheetos, Doritos. COME ON PARENTS. Seriously? Oreos? At 10? Side eye.
Our school has a district-wide Safe Foods List. Nothing can be brought into the classroom that isn't on that list
I always brought soft pretzels for preschool snack. The kids love them, they aren't terrible for you and they are awesome. I would side eye Cheetos, Doritis and Oreos

Fucking snacks.
And yeah, I'd be annoyed with any type of good being used as positive behavior tool at any age. But especially preschool. No preschooler is going to put together that they don't get the treat on Friday because of what they did Tueaday.
We have the occasional cupcake on a birthday, but otherwise school does healthy snack. The treats for the spring basket had to be "not candy".
Related, it took me 12 hours to figure out that "spring party" and "spring basket" was code for secular easter type stuff. I seriously could not figure out why the hell they were having a party for spring.
Last year DS's teacher was giving them a piece of candy at the end of every day. When the parents found out we were livid. I don't mind he occasional party with treats but every freakin day my kid does not need a tootsie roll
