Your suggested revenge is sweet, but probably would make the child ill. The problem is not the child, but a brain-dead public school administrator.

They recently took soda pop machines out of my son's high school. Which opened up a black market of students selling cans of soda pop. At high prices. I kid you not.
One of the soda pop "dealers" is a friend of my sons, and is often over to our house. Whenever he comes over, I ask him how business is. Lol.
Excellent ad for homeschooling.
Man, markets are strong things aren’t they?
That sounds like my German Club gummy bears from back before gummy stuff was on ever shelf... our bears were from West Germany. Some of the club members bought boxes at the list price and then after the club sale time was over (it might have been two or three weeks), pulled the now rare treats out of the locker and sold them at double price. Gummy bears: sugar, wax coating and heroin, lots and lots of heroin.
I hope this nazi’s phone is constantly ringing.
True Americans? What's that? True Americans would have shut the socialists up about the immigration law in AZ by now. True Americans never would have voted a socialist into the White House. True Americans would already have the socialist teacher calling for a mexican revolution back in mexico by now. True Americans would have thrown the socialists out of Congress with the mere mention of a bailout.
Edmund Burke had it right. "All that is required for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing."
The food Nazis are here.
NO CANDY FOR YOU!!!
I can fully support a strict, no exceptions policy against students giving food from home to other students. That can give parents control they reasonably want over what their children eat during the school day, whether due to allergies, obesity, religious restrictions, or whatever. However, it shouldn't make any difference what the food is or whether the state classifies it as "minimally nutritious".
Children sharing peanuts, or gluten-containing products such as whole wheat bread, can be a big problem for children with allergies or digestive problems triggered by these foods. And most candies contain corn syrup, to which some children are allergic enough to cause symtpoms that interfere with learning. And practically all food is unkosher, once it's passed through the hands and lunch box of a non-kosher child and his/her family. But if they're going to have a no-sharing policy, it needs to apply to everything, not just "educratically incorrect" foods.
That, my FRiend, is an excellent question. As a concerned citizen, I want to know what these teachers eat at school as well as at home.

Saner heads at the state level have overruled the brain-dead local educrats :-)
Amber is out of detention and the Texas Agriculture Department has apparently officially declared candy-sharing not to be a violation of its regulations:
“In a letter to the school system Friday, the Texas Department of Agriculture wrote, “This particular incidence of candy possession as it has been reported by KHOU-TV would not be considered a violation of the state or federal nutrition program and therefore would not have jeopardized your district’s food service funding.” . . . The Agriculture Department also says that the nutrition policy is intended to improve the health of Texas youth, not prohibit sharing a little candy.”
Not anymore. The school officials have been officially corrected. See my previous post.
Yes, Mr. Ellis, you just had to follow orders. It’s wonderful to have a well paying job where you don’t have to exercise a modicum of judgment. Isn’t Zero Tolerance wonderful?
Guess what? Your third grade student thinks you’re a putz.
Good deal. Thanks for the update.
They have been able to demonize the majority of people and paint physical action as bad, unlike what our founding fathers thought and wrote about.
That, along with their not teaching history and our Constitution, they have been able to paint anybody who even talks about Government the wrong way as “terrorists,” even thought the leftists are the true terrorists.
I have been on FR for just under three years and see way too many people who have the belief that using any kind of force is wrong. That way of thinking is exactly what the left wants us to have since they will divide us, keep the press from reporting about us, and then use their own force to quietly eliminate us.
Fighting for our Liberty and Freedom (our Constitution) is not the bad thing, it is the correct thing.
Two big reasons kids these days aren’t learning in school are because they:
-eat junk all day
-spend way too much time on tv/video games/computer, etc.
I don’t think it’s a bad policy to encourage kids to eat well and to ban sugary snacks.
If you don’t like this kind of intrusiveness, send your kids to a private school or homeschool them.
Ellis, you are too fricken STUPID to be superintendent.
