We have new school meal rules: only milk at break, only water rest of day.
Harry is intolerant to milk, will only spit out water- attempts to get him to drink it resulted in abandonment of the idea rather rapidly!
So today he takes in his usual snack- squash and a 100% dried fruit bar (letter says only fresh or dried fruit)
No calls frm school, I was ome all da
Teacher marches out- holding full drink and snack- both confiscated on arrival: poor kid had no drink all day (had lunch to eatbut had t sit watch other kids eat snacks)
teacher tells me its hard luck, better go sort with head, she's not interested (Cow)
lckily last term i'd have been scared, i have been working on developing my inner tigress (read nineteen by jodi picoult, realised that could be sam if I didnt buck up my ideas)
So I head ver to head, luckly his old 1-1 is in the foyer and can back me up that Harry won't have water. Secretary is shaking her head, second asd kid affewcted this way today!
1-1 tells me harry was sat alone crying at lunchtime but because of poor vocab couldn't tell her what was up.
Lady in charge of food comes over (nursery teacher----??) and sas its the new welsh assembly rules; I point out that the DDA supersedes tis and sefco is behind me nodding fervently
he canhave non-warer now if I send a letter and teacher was bullshitting about the dried fruit not being OK but aarrrrgggghhhhh here we go again
feel right proud of myself though for sorting it and nor being a wuss or calling dh in
