A Sydney mum has been left outraged after her daughter's lunch was criticised by her teacher, lashing out in a handwritten note.
The disgruntled parent wrote a not-so-subtle note for her child's teacher this morning, and sent her off to school with it. But not before she'd shared a snapof it on a local Facebook page, according to news.com.au.
"Unless you are going to 'pay' $$$ for my child's packed lunch and supply her with a drink, then please keep your opinions to yourself and stop telling my child what she can or can't have in her lunch box!" the note read.
Users were keen to know what exactly what the teacher disapproved of, though most assumed it was the bottle of Apple Raspberry Cordial pictured (hence the arrows drawn beneath it).
The post comes ahead of World Teachers' Day tomorrow, an annual day dedicated to celebrating teachers and their contribution to our communities.
And while some parents insist teachers are there to teach — not to police lunch boxes — they are required to enforce the school's food policies.
Most schools have food policies to cater for children with allergies and to teach students about a healthy lifestyle with nutritious canteen options, nut-free zones, and nude-food lunch boxes.
