A TikTok post by a third-grade teacher highlights the challenges of opening certain snacks, particularly fruit cups, during lunch. The teacher expresses her frustration with these items, stating they lead to messes and difficulty in the classroom. She notes that while children enjoy the taste, packing them leads to sticky situations that make it hard to manage her attire. Additionally, she shares her experiences as a preschool assistant, voicing similar concerns about yogurt tubes and other complex snacks that add to the chaos of lunchtime supervision.
I love, love, love helping your child get their lunch settled and opening things for them. I don't, however, particularly enjoy these little fruit cups, they are actually impossible, parents, to open in the classroom without spilling them.
Don't get me wrong. They're delicious. I know the children love them. However, I think they would be a fantastic snack for after school. At home.
If you're desperate you can cut off the top, but you're going to gunk up your scissors real quick. The safety scissors the kids use probably couldn't even cut through the yogurt itself.
As a preschool teacher's assistant, I have strong opinions on the worst snacks to have to deal with as a teacher assisting 20 kids in one lunch break.
