school milk

longman

News this morning is that Michael Gove is reintroducing compulsory school milk in schools, as well as banning chocolates and sweets from sale in schools, and banning cakes and biscuits, except in a restricted form at lunch times, and banning all fried food.

My understanding is school milk used to cause problems for people on the spectrum because of the way it was served up, and the circumstances.

The food restrictions are also bound to cause problems.

I thought I'd raise the question as others may have immediate concerns.

    This is another change that the ASD kids will have to deal with. :-(

    They may well get used to the routine of it while it lasts (I remember school milk with a vague fondness) :-) I don't remember being forced to drink it, I don't think any teachers these days will impose great penalties on a child that declines the offer of a free drink.

    It'll be scrapped again in due course by a new minister so the ASD kids will have to cope with that disruption when it happens. :-(

    If it means that fewer kids are eating junk food for a while then I'm mildly in favour. I imagine ASD kids might do better on a good diet?
