We were not allowed to eat in the halls however - that could get a detention (MASSH). We were also not allowed to bring our own food to campus without special medical permission. We had assigned lunch, but the lunchroom had a buffet where you were allowed to pop in and get food or fruit etc whenever you wanted. Or from 1030 to 200 or something like that.

I think this was allowed because it was an all girls school filled with skinny girls who didn’t like to eat much. This would not work in coed environment - the boys would eat the whole buffet if so. The sta boys would sometimes try to get food and the workers would usually shoo them away.

What is an herbivore? Sounds like your kid may not be getting enough protein etc if she is constantly hungry.

As a fellow "herbivore" (aka vegan) I'd like to make it clear that the child's habits probably aren't caused by not eating animal products. There are plenty of plant based kids, even young ones, who manage school and eating appropriately. this is 100% due to snowflake-ism.

I don't know if a 12/13 year old student would be a good fit for high school though.

I don’t know what every teacher does, but the school policy is no eating in the classroom.

For a good reason it’s distracting. No one wants to hear people chewing and eating during class. Op your daughter will have to eat a big breakfast and lunch and eat during breaks. No one wants kids eating during class.

You may not, but clearly there are teachers who don't mind, and what OP is asking is where they are more likely to find those teachers.

Perhaps, but if her daughter is such a snowflake that she has to eat in class because she can’t bring herself to eat enough at meal time, she should probably avoid a school whose policy prohibits it.

You think just possibly that's why she posted the question?

Plant based is not necessarily vegan or vegetarian. Its the trendy thing right now to call yourself plant based.
