Parents feed pupils through gates
Pupils at a South Yorkshire school are being fed fish and chips through the gates by parents who say the canteen is not providing what their children want.
Students at Rawmarsh Comprehensive are not allowed out of the grounds at lunchtime, so some parents are taking their orders for the chip shop instead.

A good idea on paper, dont really approve of whats being brought in for them though, although in their defence they were featured on the local lunchtime news here and most of the stuff being brought in was relatively healthy, I think the Beeb have just attached themselves to the fish and chips.
Talk about spoliing a child...
Personally I do partly agree with the whole healthy eating thing; children should not be eating cheap food packed with chemicals and other crap but then I think the crux of the child obesity problem is lazy kids not getting any exercise. The fact is children have been eating fish and chips or whatever a few times a week for years and years, it's really nothing new. Maybe incentives for walking to school (for those living nearby) and a few extra PE lessons would help?
There should be a letter wrote out to all parents which they can decide on whether they prefer their child to eat healthily or anything they would like from crisp, crisps and fizzy drinks. Then food will be served respectively.
Or we can turn to common sense and back the whole scheme to get children to eat healthier. Healthy food means a healthy mind. Children will feel more alert and will absorb more information. P.E should be compulsory and should be available twice a week with many after school activities.
A half hour run twice a week is useless if you run out of wind after a minute. Forcing it on people only serves to make them hate excercise/sport even more anyway. Utterly pointless.
It's so hard to get kids to understand the concept of long term implications...
As for parents "undermining" schools, I suppose it comes down to whom you think should have the final say on what children can and cannot do. I really don't think its up to the state to dictate to parents how they should behave.
As for sport being "encouraged", don't make me laugh. Unless you're Beckham PE teachers don't give a flying fuck about you, and spend more of their time mocking your efforts than encouraging you to enjoy the sport you are playing. I was never all that good at sport because I couldn't run very fast and I couldn't see too well without my glasses, and rather than offer me encouragement they spent their time humiliating the weakest runners and jumpers. For some unfathomable reason I lost all confidence in exercise, and didn't do any, and it took me years to get over it.
Yeah - but in moderation. Many people ear this kind of stuff everyday, which is taking it to the extreme.
I supose it is up to the individual but in this case, the parents. But I believe parents should support healthy eating - what eactly is wrong with it? I don't understand why these parents are so against it. I agree somewhat here. At my school it were the same old people that were captains of sport etc. It is humiliating for those that need encouragement to be better at sport. They never get the chance and become to hate it as they're always being laughed at or humiliated.
There needs to be a lot more selection in PE lessons and a lot more individuality. I mean, kids need to set their own targets so they get some benefit from the lessons.
If parents don't agree with the menu then they should take their kid out and find a school were Mcshit is served- or give their kids home education so they can make sure their precious little kids eat exactly what they like- lest they see anything green on their plate and have a fit.
If parents decide to do this, it is a decision for the parent and child. I don't agree with their decision, but its not up to the school to start trying to impose sanctions.
luke, the consumption of calories has gone down by about 700 calories a day on average. The problem is that the burning off of calories has gone down by about 1100 calories a day.
I am very into healthy eating, not a freak as I do have my treats (quite often!) but my staple meals are healthy and nutritious, and I pride myself on my baby boy eating the same way.
Diet goes a long way in keeping peoples mental state healthy too y'know
in year 11 we could chose between a sport and the gym though
It's bad enough that some parents feel their precious little child must not go a single day without having their portion of chips... but when they start taking orders over the fence from other kids that simply takes the piss.
I sincererly hope the school in question puts a barbed wire perimeter fence so the shameful episode isn't repeated.
So for calories, yeah, maybe we are eating less, but we're eating artificial crap, E numbers and preservatives, and people wonder why ADHD and ADD is suddenly everywhere, don't they think it might have something to do with the chemicals we've been feeding our kids.
The (unintended ?) irony there has me VERY amused.:D
Do explain the cause of your amusement though
You are refering to an institution that provides a compulsory service that must be paid for whether used or not, and the contents of which are dictated (i.e. propaganda of the providers). The recipients of the service are also forced to attend under threat of violence to their family members.
Barbed wire perimeter fence, indeed.
A victim of the aforementioned institution, per chance ? :chin:
Worth bearing in mind that new medical conditions often seem to suddenly spring up when they are discovered - it doesn't necessarily mean they didn't exsist before - just that no one had any term to discribe them previously.
For example, some of the studies of life-sentance prisoners showed evidence of childhood add or adhd at a very high rate regardless of age - but I'm afraid you'll have to take that on trust as it was something I read years ago rather than something I've got a link to.
They say the kids are left starving, well tough! Let them starve. Fill them up with a good breakfast and i they don't have their lunch, they can wait til their evening meal, it's hardly starving, is it?
They will have to learn to like fruit, veg and healthy food.
I'm not saying no treats and no to chips, just not every day of the week.
However, good diet, not full of crap makes a massive difference, as tested on life-sentance prisoners, but I also don't have a link.
a) cooking lessons reitroduced, not Food Tech, Cooking, how to make healthy meals etc. I'm 21 have done food tech and cant cook for shit.
b) there needs to be more emphasis on exercise, the PE requirments are shit and after school sports clubs are few and far between. Kids need to be encouarged and not be degraded for trying, I never did anything at sports day because I knew I would have the piss taken for coming last. The also need to encourage kids to walk/ride to school more. I know this is hard for some as the live some way from the school etc but the amount of mothers that pick their kids up when they live a mile or so away (and could be walked in little time) is stupid. I always walked to school/work when it was close enough. (4 mile round trip each day, for over a year in one job) I would happily walk to work now, its just would take me 2 hours.
