Yeh I saw this, its ridiculous. Whats even more odd is that the kid who provided the candy wasn't punished? What the drug -- i mean, candy -- pushers don't get punished?
Proper thing the school should've done (if they really wanted to do anything at all) would be to give a warning to the two kids, and tell them not to do it again. Maybe send home a note to the parents reminding them of school policy.
Afterall who the hell knows school food policies like that? Especially if they arn't even clearly stated what the specifics are just that schools can be more strict if they want. Seems like an abuse of power to me. The SCHOOL can't provide the candy, but there is that grey area these kids discovered that personally I think should be the same as if it was candy brought from home.
All thats going to happen is:
a) girl will now distrust/dislike her school system... congrats, you guys have enough issues with that.
b) kids taught sharing is not caring, sharing puts your friend in trouble - so give candy to your enemies.
