UK: School Apologises After Making Children Eat Their Greens
16th June 2012
Candeece Kenlock said her five–year–old son, Kehyan, was so scared of being made to eat everything on his plate that he did not want to go to school.
‘Eat everything on your plate’ pretty much describes my childhood. Except that I didn’t have the option not to go.
Another mother said: “My boys came home in tears because they were forced to eat all their peas.”
The wussification of Britain. These are metrosexuals in the making.
“They should not be forcing children to eat everything on their plate,” said another. “If a child is full or really doesn’t want to finish their school dinner they should be allowed to leave it.”
Andthat’s what wrong with parents these days. Their poor little darlings will not be required to do anything that they don’t want to do.
The head teachers, Rebekah Iiyambo and Mitch Karunaratne, said the teacher in question, “who was acting in the best interests of the pupils”, had been spoken to and it would not happen again.
And that’s what’s wrong with schools these days. (‘Iiyambo’? ‘Karunaratne’? Yeah, those are British names, all right.)
