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.

Two big reasons responsible parents are slowly but surely abandoning public schools to homeschool or send them to private schools:
- Idiotic rules that treat little kids like criminals for petty bureaucrat-authored 'offenses' that accomplish nothing at all except to embarrass the child and harass his or her parents by making them appear to have a 'problem' child (for eating a piece of candy).
- teachers and principals that are unwilling to exercise even a modicum of judgment (common sense) and opt to impose unnecessary, sometimes draconian punishment on an innocent child, then hide behind the coward's historic excuse: "I'm only following the rules".
The real problem in public schools isn't junk food or kids that play 'too many' video games, it's a severe lack of student discipline (especially in high schools) and teachers unions that allow inept teachers to stay employed for years.
