We all know the importance of a good lunch – especially when at school.<\/p>\n
It's vital that kids have a balanced diet and stay hydrated throughout the day – but one mum was fuming after a teacher left her a rather blunt note about her son's eating habits.<\/p>\n
She'd packed him a ham and cheese sandwich, some fruit and nuts, cucumber slices and a yoghurt – but the food options got a lot of people talking.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She soon vented about the note she received on social media, and people have been left confused.<\/p>\n
The teacher offered her a "gentle reminder" to "pack snacks and not lunches", but it left the mum totally confused.<\/p>\n
She asked people: "Can someone enlighten me why teachers think it's too much for a snack if he eats it all?"<\/p>\n
Even so, some people alerted her to the fact that there was a lot of food packed for a snack.<\/p>\n

One suggested: "That's a lunch-sized portion of food, not a snack. <\/p>\n
"They have a policy of not taking food away from kids who are still eating so he's holding up class."<\/p>\n
Another shared the same view, adding: "I'm thinking he probably takes longer than the other kids to eat. It's messing up schedule."<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other parents were eager to point out that she knows her "son's appetite better than anyone".<\/p>\n
As long as he enjoyed the food, some parents didn't believe there should be an issue.<\/p>\n
"If your child is eating it all, then he needs it. Trust you! Keep rocking it mamma", another said, according to Tyla.<\/p>\n
