Covering Up

The school authorities said that they are considerate about every student of theirs and they even offered Natalee a healthy snack option. They gave her some fruits but Natalee did not wish to consume those. She wanted that biscuits only. Was it right on the part of the school to devoid a little girl of biscuits?

Better Cognitive Development

The school made a valid comment. They said many studies show that fruit and vegetables along with the right amount of cereals ensure a healthy brain. These foods are believed to boost the cognitive skills of a child while the junk and deep-fried foods, chocolates, and other sweeteners hinder with their growth. To ensure a healthy child it is must that they eat healthy as well.

The Unexpected

While the school made all its point sound valid, they made a statement that no parent would ever want to hear. Till the time they were talking about health and fitness goals for kids, it was agreeable. Even a specific diet for children was acceptable. But the school called Leeza also unfit. This was when Leeza lost her cool.

Felt Ashamed

Leeza till now was accepting everything on the part of the school. She was happy to know that the school is promoting healthy eating amongst kids but the sole reason for her disagreement was the way the school authorities were taking this argument. Somewhere they made Leeza feel ashamed about herself and her body structure, as she was quite obese. Leeza even tells them that this is something which has nothing to do with the discussion and they can’t even tell her this in front of her daughter.

I Am The Mother

Every claim and argument which the school kept forward, upsets Leeza to the extreme. She was disturbed on being told that she has to follow certain health guidelines while preparing lunch for her daughter. She says,” What the school thinks is healthy for her is not what I think is healthy for her”. The school at any cost can’t tell her what her daughter could eat and what she couldn’t.

Healthy Natalee

The court would not have favored Natalee, had she weighed beyond 100 pounds and crossed the obesity parameters. But, luckily that wasn’t the case. Natalee was absolutely healthy and wasn’t obese. Rather she weighed just apt in accordance with her age. This made school’s arguments weak on their part and eventually left Leeza happy.
