[QUOTE="SunnyNC, post: 38040, member: 3459"] So, I wrote the teacher an email this morning and cc'd the Assistant Principal about my son not being able to eat lunch during lunch time due to his missed homework assignment that he had to complete. Here was my email.... I was wondering if you were aware that difficult child was not able to eat lunch on Friday because he was required to complete a missed homework assignment during this time? I am sure you can imagine why this is just not acceptable to me and I hope it should never happen again. Honestly, I would rather difficult child receive a "0" on forgotten homework, than not be able to have enough time to eat lunch. He sometimes seems to have problems with his blood sugar when he does not eat on time and he came home off the bus saying he was feeling light-headed. I was under the assumption that lunch is so important in the school district that a child who forgets their lunch is provided one from the school and the parents billed later. I would also then assume that lunch should be important enough that missed work should not take the place of a child being able to eat. Thank you for ensuring this never happens again. Here was her response...for the most part: I am soooo very sorry and was unaware that difficult child didnt eat his lunch. I check the tables once or twice during our lunch time to make sure they are eating. I spoke to difficult child and specifically told him to eat I asked if he had eaten and he said no, and I made him aware we had 15-20 minutes remaining and he needed to eat. I just assumed from there he began to eat. Anytime a child works at lunch I have told them to eat and work together or sometimes I remind them to take a bite,write some, take a bite, etc. I would never want a child to go without eating nor would I knowfully let them. I do apologize and will be more cautious of this from now on. I am glad that she is apologetic...and hope that this never happens to another child. I also hope that the assistant principal at least emails me back, if not calls me to let me know that this has been handled and will never happen again. It is a good thing my child didn't get very sick this time even though he didn't eat...I would have sent them the ER bill! Have a great day! [/QUOTE]
