Walk around Tokyo and you'll see that there are literally no garbage cans anywhere. Nothing in malls or on the street. And yet everything is clean and tidy. People pick up after themselves. Hell, even their McDonald's (or any restaurant) has had the plastic, paper, and liquid drink splits for at least a decade now.

My comment was more along the line of...
We’re often told teachers have too many tasks to juggle in today’s complex classrooms. Apparently, the teacher involved in this incident has time to pass judgment on students’ snacks on top of all the other demands placed on educators.
I would also like to know why this teacher was not aware of this child's needs. If you have an autistic child in your classroom, high functioning or not, it should be part of your duty to know about autism and the food challenges that go along with it.
And to actually send other food home as an example of better food choices is appalling. What if the child had allergies? Results could be devastating if the child ate food they were allergic to.
As a parent, I always checked if there were dietary restrictions of other children if they were in my house or under my care. I would expect nothing less from a teacher.
