A MUM has shared her outrage after teachers left a ‘passive aggressive’ note in her daughter’s lunchbox.
Taking to Reddit, the mum shared a snap of the offending note which had been placed in her girl’s packed lunch on her first day back after the summer holidays.
The photo, which has recently resurfaced online, showed a print-out of a Walkers crisp packet accompanied by the words, “No crisps please.”
Captioning her photo, the mum added: “This passive aggressive note in my daughter’s lunchbox today.
“Back to school indeed.”
Fellow parents were equally flabbergasted by the note, sharing their thoughts in the comments.
One wrote: “I’d like to see what this school is serving in their canteen for those who don’t bring a packed lunch.”
“If I had a child it would irritate the hell out of me,” added another, “What is wrong with the things we always had at school?”
A third agreed adding, “What on earth. Why? Tell them to f*** off.”
In recent years, schools have become stricter on what students are allowed to have in their packed lunch with many putting a ban on sugary and salty snacks.
To avoid a telling off from the school, Charlotte Stirling-Reed, The Baby & Child Nutritionist, previously revealed her top tips when it comes to packing a lunch.
She said: “Ideally, you need to think about offering your child a balance.
“Lunch boxes will make up a fair proportion of the food children will eat throughout the day.
“It needs to be OK to last until lunchtime, be something ideally they are likely to eat, have leftovers for snacks (if appropriate) and offer a balance of good foods to ensure they get plenty of nutrients and energy to get them through a busy, tiring school day!
The NHS gives a number of suggestions and guidelines on their Chnage4Life website.
“Ideally, a child’s packed lunch should include each of the four main food groups, to ensure that children are offered a balance of foods and nutrients for their lunch.
“Of course sandwiches with fillings, some fruit and yogurt is also fine, but do try to vary parts of your kid’s lunch and make sure you’re ticking off the four main food groups!”
