It was shocking to learn from someone who teaches in a nearby public middle school, that some teachers now freely allow their students to snack at any time throughout the classroom day. One assumes the parents provide the snacks, but the kids could also be buying the extra food without the parents' knowledge. It doesn't help with learning or classroom control, but it does help encourage distraction from learning and, well, yes, the obesity epidemic.
