because the snacks are delicious.  if schools remove vending machines, kids are still going to the market or fast food restaurants before/after school to buy deliciouslness.

The whole anti-smoking lobby is over run with dicks. I should think your country should be giving an education to every single child who wants one, regardless of how they got there. If the nation flaunts its system and brags about how it is the elsupremo place to be - naturally less fortunates are going to want to be there.

No, if booze and cigerettes just came out today, they would be just as illegal as pot. They are all bad for you. Also, the government makes too much money by keeping it illegal. If they said it was ok, they couldn't keep all the money, cars, etc., that they took away from all the people that they catch.

Changing the driving age from 16 to 18 (yes they are talking about it,) banning drugs (pot use), smoking laws (banning smoking in public places). The pledge of alligeance (should you have to say under god, should it be said in schools?) Hope this helps

There were tests done that say it isn't healthy and can cause a multitude of problems, but everyone has to drink their diet soda to make up for that candy bar they ate earlier... not me though, purity is my stance or at least as close as possible

The public and doctors think that it is a good idea to remove vending machines from public schools cause of the high childhood obesity rates in this country....they are also concerned about what there children eat and don't want them eating junk food but more nutricous foods.

YOU GOT US ALL WONDERING, NOWADAYS, kids are refusing to learn and learning in not to work because there is other ways of getting money, from stealing to selling drugs. This had me wondering, I personally know some kids just finished graduating from university schools and they CAN NOT MAKE SIMPLY CHANGE AS AN CASHIER, UNLESS THEY HAVE A COMPUTER OR AN CACULATOR TODO THAT FOR THEM! Well im 33 year old and have 2 kids in school and now its mandatory for them to have calculators. When I was in there grades WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ONE, the only thing we were allowed to use  was a piece of paper or our heads to calculate a answer. Now i see this "graduate" university kids acting like this. I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A VERY SCARY FUTURE. Those kids someday might be our president of our country, or our future doctors.  Tell you the truth I rather off being dead than alive. Even highschool kids are getting to be very scary. If they don't have there names written down on a piece of paper, Im pretty sure they will forget in how to spell it. The best way to resolve this us parents must Demand for higher school achievements or standards. and not let those standards get any lower, then they are set now! and start demanding kids todo more educational things other than letting them play a PS2 system for hours on ends so they can master the game, and it doesn't stops there, have you heard the music they listen, especially to rap, in how they are killing people and being in gangs or doing drugs or talking about sex. these rappers now have have to change there lyrics to get kids into staying in school and promote something to better our kids SO WE CAN ALL HAVE A BETTER FUTURE. IF WE CAN PULL THIS OFF our future will be better and will be more secured than it sits as now.

Give it a try.  They (soda companies) pay schools big bucks to have only their type in the schools.

The Principal of my kids primary school has banned all junk food at breaktime, only water and fruit or healthy snacks allowed. She started this in September and says the concentration and behavior of the children up until lunchtime has noticibly improved!\n\nSo i have to say if it is calming disruptive children then Im all for it.

I don't think anybody learns anything in high school anymore. It's not really there to educate nowadays; it's just a system set in place to keep teenage kids from wandering the streets during the day - the government's way to try to cut down on vandalism and crime.

Unsharpen that pencil, young man, you could put somebody's eye out.\n\nThis is certainly taking things too far. If one of the teachers had left their ubiquitous cup of coffee on their desk and a student took a sip would said caffeine provider be suspended without pay?\n\nZero-tolerance might seem like a good idea, but it seems that when this policy is in effect people's brains stop working.

The stuff in school is very watered down and artificially sweetened. It's already bad enough that millions of Jews were murdered, why tell the kids that a whole bunch of others were too?

I do not have a problem with students walking out of class in protest as long as what they are protesting is something important to them.  When I was in high school I participated in two protests and both of them actually made a difference.  No one got suspended either time, and the principal of my school compromised with all the students until everyone agreed mutually.  I however was from a smaller town of about 7500 people so maybe its not such a big deal in smaller schools.  But I think more and more school districts are trying to control too many things that aren't allowing our children to enjoy the school experience as much as we did growing up.  Strick dress codes, and rising security in buildings, it can be too much for some kids.  Granted in some areas and cities we need that, but I think kids need to be able to have room to wiggle to learn and grow and the schools need to allow parents to "parent" their children more rather than having teachers and principles do it for us.  I also realize that parents are getting more lazy as well, and schools are becoming more liable for our children's actions, but that is not something I want for my child.  I want to be the parent, I work hard at it, and if my child's school is doing something that myself and my child may disagree with then I have absolutely no issue with my child walking out of class to proteset what he believes is right for himself and his classmates, because I am confidant that I am raising him well enough that he can make the right choices and know where the line is and not to cross it.  I believe that if you have encouraged your child to have proper morals and values that we can trust them enough to trust their opinions and actions.  I understand that more severe actions can be taken then what I experienced but things like this allow our children to gain more life experience and that is not something that I will be against.
