Context is important here. Considering the rest of the kids lunch was pretty reasonable the teacher absolutely ovestepped.

Outrage bait over literally fucking nothing as usual. Just a parent getting uppity that someone else judged their parenting, then social media and media blowing it up with a combination of narcissism and anything negative about teachers/education is signal boosted due to being in the political crosshairs lately. The kid is 3, they don’t give a shit about the teacher writing on their snack and will have forgotten about it in like 2 days.

If they were just having donuts or something for lunch - and especially if it was causing behavioral problems with that kid or otherwise disturbing class - then sure. But Pringles? Assuming those were a side and not the entire lunch, especially, but even so…

But this seems like overreach, albeit well-intentioned

Definitely over stepping. Sure, if’n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it’s not too bad.
