Please help to STOP withholding food as punishment to our
children in Pre K and Elementary classes in South East MO
At daycare, It is not allowed and illegal to deny a child any nutricious food, snack or drink. At our public schools snack time is a privelege but the rules should not be any different then at our daycares. Healthy and nutricious snacks are allowed to be denied our children as punishment for a very small act such as talking during nap time as punishment. This is an idiocracy. NO YOUNG CHILD should be denied a healthy snack such as fruit as PUNISHMENT ! There are countless ways for children to be reprimanded for misbehavior at our schools such as sitting out at recess. There is NO REASON to give a classroom full of children a nutricious snack but one child for a minor misbehavior. This is reinforcing a negative attitude in several ways for our children. Taking food away from our children as punishment at public schools is CRUEL!
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP STOP DENYING
FOOD TO CHILDREN AS PUNISHMENT !
