Door dash/Uber for school lunch

[Anonymous]

Banned at our MS, so now the parents pick up fast food and deliver it to school.

Maybe if school lunches were actually edible, there would be less of this.

The world needs more teachers like Mr. Hand.

“Thanks Spinelli: pizza for the entire class!”

I’m one of the HS teacher posters and we talk about it this all the time. Who thought it would become a reality and normal occurrence. Many kids don’t get the reference when we bring it up.

Our elementary school put the kibosh on this. Parents were ordering it and didn't see why it was a problem to have someone take delivery for their kid.

The high school just said deliveries would not be accepted in the office and students wouldn't be leaving class to get their food. There was a sign on the front door telling drivers to stay outside.

Different HS teacher here. Sometimes they are so brazen that they ask to use the restroom and come back a couple of minutes later with their Starbucks delivery.

My H had a friend in high school ask his teacher if he could go get a drink. The teacher said yes. Friend then walked out of school and across the street to the White Hen, where he got a soda. He returned to class and yes did get detention for it. But we still laugh about it because he did ask!

From what I heard it was a smallish group of repeat families doing it- definitely not the majority. The school does allow parents to personally drop off a takeout lunch for their child- apparently many do this for birthdays etc. I personally have never done so

UMC are not spending $20 a day on lunch for kids. Wealthy parents are.

UMC people are terrible with money.

Correct. Reinforcing the laziness.

My kids' school isn't really even UMC, I'd say maybe 10% UMC, 60% MC, and then there's about 25% on FARMS. Truly wealthy families? NO. Still had to shut down the Door Dash thing at lunch.

Almost everyone is terrible with money. Wealthy people can usually thrive despite that.

Same. Our school is technically Title 1 (just barely breaks 50% farms) and also had to shut it down, and ban parent deliveries too.
