Outraged Reddit users sided with the mother and left comments:
“Report her to the principal. Her comments about your son’s food are ‘disgusting’ and have an ‘unpleasant tone. She is now very unfit to teach at school.”
One user wrote, “Your son’s food is absolutely normal. For a 5 year old child. Your family’s food is normal.”
“The other thing that bothers me about this is, if (and still a big ‘if!’) other kids are really ‘distracted’ by food (read: bullying your child about food), it’s not the teacher. is going to do a good job protecting his son and teaching these kids to accept differences. Instead he is likely to engage in bullying himself.”
“My oldest preschool teacher hated that I sent tuna salad sandwiches to school. [with him] Once a week for lunch, as it was and still is his favorite sandwich. She didn’t bring it up to me even once but always told him she thought it smelled and she personally didn’t like it but she was glad he did.
“I’m a preschool teacher and I’ve never thrown away a child’s lunch. Teachers and schools like this are crossing the line. With so many families struggling, I’m glad my students are eating. I’d rather see kids eat edibles than have some leftovers from dinner that they won’t eat.”
