...and the cheese sandwich thing was common practice at my school when you were being disciplined.

You don't seem to understand his point, HE'S the boss, hoss.

One meal in this child's life will clearly scar him. And, bowing to this authority will only mean he will be shot by the cops in the future. Geez, follow along!

Friday or Monday, it's still a meal with all the nutrition of a cup of vegetable oil and two slices of sawdust.

He's not going to eat that shit. I'll make sure he gets something good during the day...even if he has to sneak off and eat it in the bathroom.

Usually my wife gets up early to take our son to school, but sometimes, like today, she goes to Jiu Jitsu to train at 6am and I take the boy to school. Well, I didn't realize that was the plan, didn't set an alarm, and didn't wake up until 8. Totally my fault. So I get him up, dressed and fed then wifey gets home from training and runs him up to the school real fast...so he ends up being 30 min late.

They inform my wife that this is his 4th tardy and he will get lunch detention tomorrow (Friday). Well, of course its fucking stupid since a 7 year old has absolutely no control over what time he gets to school....but whatever. Lunch detention isn't that much different from regular lunch since they're not allowed to socialize anyway. Cool, so we'll let him know he's not a bad kid and take him to do something awesome Friday night to make up for my mistake that he got punished for.

Then comes the kicker....kids in lunch detention are allowed 1 cheese sandwich and 1 milk for lunch. That's it. A motherfucking cheese sandwich with two pieces of unhealthy white bread and a slice of processed disgusting American cheese. Not allowed to bring his own, its part of the punishment. So you're going to fucking starve my child because he was late due to no fault of his own, which simultaneously making him hate you? Never mind the fact that he's only missed 2 days of school all year, or that he frequently gets "Student of the Day" honors and very rarely gets in any trouble.

My boy is a competition Brazilian Jiu Jitsu grappler, he trains hard 5 days a week, is cut like a mini body builder and eats literally as much as a grown man....and you're going to give him a cheese sandwich? No, fuck that, not on my life.

So the plan is for me to go up tomorrow and pick him up right before lunch. Thinking I'll take him to a museum and the zoo if its nice out. And that's where the potential prison sentence comes in....because if they give me any shit about picking him up or try to hold him prisoner against his and my will there is going to be some trouble.

I've been training pretty hard these past couple of months....I'm thinking I could submit two teachers at the same time...

Huh
WTF kind of school does your kid attend?

A Texas school, nuff said.

This is what, first or second grade? I never remembered any "lunch detention" or any detention for that matter. More like letters or calls to parents. But I guess that takes work......can't have that.

I'd be raising all sorts of hell, dude. That's BS.

Maybe the concept is more unique to Texas public schools? I remember getting the same deal in 10th grade while in Isolated Suspension, but I want to say that we got a piece of fruit with ours and had the option to buy an additional lunch if we needed....

Yea I don't know and since I don't have kids I'm not sure what they do here but that sounds like he's the one in prison...maybe that's their purpose for doing it I guess. Working out like he does in BJJ and eating only that...I don't see him being able to concentrate on much else besides being hungury for the rest of the day.

And thinking about how much he hates his fucking school, which sucks because he's a good student who usually enjoys being there. He deals with all the bullshit gracefully, has patience with his non-english speaking classmates and so-on....but fucking with his hunger could mess with that enthusiasm.

I'm gonna have to find a way to put a nice positive spin on it all...

Nope, not gonna happen. Beef jerky is easy to hide and he loves it.
