At what point are the schools/LEA going to do let us do our jobs as parents, and do their jobs of teaching our kids?

Yes I appreciate theres a problem with childhood obesity, yes I know kids that are horrendously overweight (as are their parents). When they are fed burgers, chips, fry ups etc at home, swapping milk aint gonna make that much difference.

The LEAs are there to provide a good level of education for our children, not to be a parent. Or are they gonna start demanding they are present from conception onwards to make sure we do that right as well?
