You can’t judge an 8 year old kid’s health based on their ‘size’. This child may have the ideal body shape but be severely undernourished.
Cheese sandwiches are also seemingly a daily occurrence at this school, what’s to say she’s not a repeat offender, and this was the final straw for the teachers ? Has she been throwing her sandwiches in the bin secretly, pretending to eat them?
