Am i over reacting?

Frankly it's somewhat Maoist IME. Foodcrime. Actually I'm sure that the children did NOT pack their own lunches.

I would point out that it is your responsibility to decide what your child eats, not theirs.

I had a similar issue with my son's junior school, as they opposed him riding his bike to school (with me). I asked them if they were now taking responsibility for my son's travel, in which case I would like him to be collected at 08:20 from my house by a suitably qualified person.
At that point they engaged reverse pretty rapidly...

I had a problem when my son was in primary aged 10/11 when he was cycling a road bike for cycling proficiency, they said a road bike was not safe as he would not balance on it as well as a mountain bike, what a load of crock.

Back to the OP's point no you are not in the wrong for being angry that is a shocking way to treat pupils.

Mike, Claire as you know is a primary school teacher, she said yes to everything apart from the standing up In front of the school , she was quite shocked by that. Take it further it's wrong on all levels

Good for them to take that approach (whether hypocritical or not) but that is most certainly not the way to do it.

As hamster said, the parents pack the lunch.
What if the child doesnt tell the parents about it and it keeps happening?

Blimey!!! What disturbs me the most is that the teachers are absolving themselves of their 'care of duty' and passing it onto the children. Regardless of whether a child brings in a snack that is healthy or not, to expect children to police it themselves is very odd. Life in the playground and growing as a person is already enough like 'Lord of the Flies' without adding to that pressure. Whoever had this idea watches to much panel based television and should be taken out and ritually humiliated.

Get your daughter to poke the head in the eyes with those carrot sticks

I think we should actively encourage humilliation, talking nicely isn't making the nation any thinner is it?
It's not just to prevent fat kids, it won't be long before a link is proven between the shit doled out as "snacks" and hyperactivity disorders etc.

One day at primary school I didn't eat my lunch (didn't hear the bell) and didn't want to have to tell my parents about it!

Send your kid to school with one of these filled with Trail-Mix.
