[quote=Anonymous]I grew up where elementary kids wash their hands before lunch. I’m not sure, but I think it’s state mandated. It really doesn’t take that long because the bathrooms have more sinks. It appalled me that kids didn’t wash their hands here, especially when I discovered that the schoolyard where they have recess directly before lunch is a popular hangout for geese and is covered in goose poop. When the principal started stressing how important school attendance was in a parent meeting (the year bird flu was rampant - years before COVID), I pointed out to her that one of the most effective ways to prevent transmission of disease is hand-washing. Her response was to grudgingly agree to keep 1 large bottle of sanitizer in the corner of the cafeteria for any kids who wanted to use it before they ate. [/quote]
