You absolutely jumped to conclusions. Many others are as well. If there's one thing that's consistently true about situations in education, it's that they're complex. That article has a few brief quotes from one side of the story and no details about the actual interactions that happened between teacher and child. The only way to reach conclusions about the parties involved is to jump to conclusions. You're even jumping to conclusions about other children in the class, which is an additional leap.

if you can't infer anything from an article, no matter which side you're on, there wouldn't be any discussion on this board, ever.
people made assumptions from the info they have, rightly or wrongly and we judge based on our own opinions, ethics and feelings.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I admit that, and I can have difficulty in properly getting my point across. but I'm trying.
leaving aside the debate about forcing nutritional and eating decisions on students, it seems reasonable to debate how the teacher dealt with the special needs student. flamesoholic made amazing points in this regard, especially in the face of the fervor Oling is pursuing his argument.
