Mum writes furious note to teacher who won’t let her daughter drink ‘unhealthy’ fruit juice – but parents are divided

IT CAN be hard for parents to pack healthy lunch boxes for their kids that they'll actually eat.

So people have been left divided over the reaction of one mum who was criticised by a teacher for giving her daughter fruit juice.

Posting on a local notice board, the woman shared how her little girl had the drink taken away from her during lunchtime because it wasn't deemed healthy.

The mum - who is from Sydney in Australia - revealed that the offending item was what appeared to be a bottle of Apple Raspberry Cordial.

However, she explained that it actually contained water with two capsules of hydrolyte - an often-flavoured supplement containing electrolytes as well as key vitamins and minerals - in it.

Regardless of what the bottle was filled with, the furious parent insisted, the teacher had no right to interfere - and she also shared a picture of a handwritten note she had penned in response for her daughter to take in the next day's lunch box.

However, many sympathised with the teacher, since they suggested healthy eating is part of the curriculum.

One shared: "It's stressful raising kids and being a mum. This note though, makes you look like a jerk.

"The teacher is only following what the department gives them as guidelines.

"How about if you have a problem you go talk to your teacher's child like an adult."
