no but really, I think this conversation is about grade school, not high school.

I'm not sure about in the US, but at my kids school, they sell Milk and Frozen Yogurt, that's it.

when you get to high school, there is a cafeteria, you can eat fries and gravy all you want, but you are 13 / 14 at that point, you know exactly what fat is, what it means, and how other kids act towards you when you are fat. Once you are a teenager, regardless of how controlling your parents are, what you eat is something you pretty much control yourself.

if you don't like what the cafeteria sells, send a lunch for your kid, stop blaming the schools for all the parenting fails. It is not the teachers job to raise your kids, each teacher has 1 job and that is to teach your kid 1 subject, and last time I was in high school "don't get fat" was not a course in the curriculum. That's parental work.

Anyways, that was besides the point, if my daughter came home with a letter from here teacher that said they were concerned about her weight, I would likely make my wife punch her in the face and say "get back to teaching her math, her weight is my issue not yours bitch" the bitch part would likely be silent.
