[quote=Anonymous]I don't know OP, but I can tell you that public schools in Montgomery County MD are exactly as you describe. I have two elementary schoolers. The screen time has gotten a bit better since kindergarten - definitely less as they get older - but I pack lunch daily because the school food is so bad, and absolutely there are tons of treats. After care is particularly terrible with food. That said, it depends on the kid, too. My older kid will find and eat ALL the snacks. My younger one just isn't as into it and frequently brings an apple or pretzels because she doesn't like the snack offerings (chips, go-gurt, pop tarts ... wish I were kidding about pop tarts but I'm not). So in my limited experience, I think you'd have a better shot at a private school. The public schools don't have the resources for healthy food, even in affluent areas. They contract out to the cheap, mass-produced crap food companies. They have no money and no alternatives.[/quote]
