to think school cooking lessons are.....

[NellyJob]

a joke when the morbidly obese 'food tech' teacher ditches the healthy recipes from the school cook book and has the class make a super sugary swiss roll? when i say fat, I mean she is so heavy as to not be able to wear normal clothes or stand up straight? and she is teaching my daughter about nutrition when all these years I have been doing my best to keep her slim and fit? and this teachers daughter is also obese as are her husband and son.....
or would I sound like a twat complaining about this?

OP, how old is your DD?

OK, thewashfairy I get it now. You are one of those people who know nothing about schools or teaching except what their DCs tell them but feel it is quite alright to criticise. WHy don;t you home educate then? Where there's a will there's a way, I'm sure...

How do you know she shares it with her mates? She might be eating it all herself due to your weird obsession with healthy eating and shit.

oh worraliberty obviously you are a far superior parent to me.
Good for you.
Have a slice of swiss roll.
she is 14 nearly.

It's nothing to do with being superior

But I do think it may have a lot to do with your weird attitude to food.

no fakebook she is a kind and generous soul, nothing to do with my crap parenting obviously.
and no i do not have any 'weird obsession', I just think this 'food tech' is a bit....crap...

School cooking lessons are a joke now anyway.

I can assure you I do not have a weird attitude to food, worraliberty.
stop projecting.

At GCSE level, they pick an item, and then constantly refine it - changing the recipe until it fits the design spec.

The only way i'd believe a constant repetition of swiss roll, is if she was doing this.

Or the teacher was preparing them for this - options prep.

Otherwise, a teacher could not have 'swiss roll' as their lesson plan, every week. They just couldnt.

Are you sure shes even doing food? Maybe she just eats the ingredients?

How do you know though? She might hide the fact she eats the WHOLE cake because you'll end up ranting and raving at her about becoming fat and obese. Do you often tell her to cut down on food intake incase she grows a tummy?

lol jambalaya...necking bags of flour and raw eggs at the bus stop....?? must be my fault....

I have never said that to her no fakebook as she is the perfect figure of a girl FYI

I can assure you I do not have a weird attitude to food, worraliberty
stop projecting

I'm reading not projecting.

You have a very weird attitude towards food if you think that an otherwise fit and healthy teenager shouldn't cook and eat cake once a week.

I'm not surprised you can't persuade her to eat it at home.

If you have genuine concerns about the constant making of swiss roll, then ask the school, ask to see the scheme of work.

Either there's a genuine reason, shes lying, or you are.

Worra I beg my DD not to bring the results of her cooking classes home but she insists on inflicting her creations on us

Same here Agent ...I'm dreading pretending to like mince pies when I can't fucking stand them

Imagine being the person who has to try it all and grade it. "Are you SURE that chickens cooked.."

Yanbu, I have always thought they should teach tthem how to make something that is not only healthy but an actual meal.. its always cakes or biscuits which does not tie in with the whole 'healthy eating' thing that Jamie Oliver actually made the LAW in schools...

*I'm reading not projecting.

it's not the cake as such that annoys me - it's the sanctimonious little cook book based on healthy eating that is just ignored week after week.

But the 'LAW' in schools does not ban cake in moderation

Well if you think it's 'sanctimonious' you should be pleased it's being ignored?

If the teacher was slim, would you have a problem with the once a week cake baking?

haha maybe you are right worraliberty....
she is enormous tho'.......and so are all her family - scarily so.

"a face like a camel licking sherbet off it's dick" ROFLMAO!

she is teaching my daughter about nutrition when all these years I have been doing my best to keep her slim and fit?

How do you do your best to keep your child slim and fit? Does it involve running after her with a whip and making her eat carrots for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

lol no fakebook hardly ever....
