Day Fourteen: Treats are the Devil

So I am going to get this off my chest right away.  It was a student's birthday today in class.  Her mom sent treats for the kids.  The kids could not eat them in class because the school is a place of learning and we don't have time for treats.  Besides treats are bad for you and we need to eat good fuel to fuel our brains.  WHAT!?  What happened to being a kid?  What happened to having fun in GRADE 2?  So now it's all carrots and healthy food and brainwashing such as what could we eat instead of these treats?  (I am thinking more treats....but I am not educated.)  The student was upset at the end of the day that the treats got sent home.  So it's more important to not have fun and let the little dudes be upset than to eat a couple cookies?  Really?  Sometimes I think this nutrion break garbage gets taken too far.  That's what morning snack is called. Nutrition Break.  AND they have to work and eat at the same time.  No breaks for you, you little automatons.  Churn out that work, be like your neighbour, suck the fun out of school and ask why Alberta has a high drop out rate.  Yeah.  It starts early.
