[quote=Anonymous]My daughter doesn't seem to eat much lunch so far.  She ate her whole lunch in Kidergarten so she said it's just very crazy at lunchtime and she runs out of time. It's chaotic in her cafeteria with over 200 1st graders apparently.   It's not helicoptering asking about a snack.  They apparently do it at all the private schools in our area.

At the good public schools in Montg County, the classes are huge.  The kids may be overall more affluent in our SS school so we get 27 kids instead of 16 or 18 or 20 in our classes which is a huge difference.  Our kids' bus picks them up so early that they are not so hungry for breakfast.  I think a quick snack is a good idea.  I certainly have one at work, sometimes multiple times.  It is rather pathetic to call this helicoptering - come on, this is totally different.  I'm not demanding to be involved in orchestrating her academic career  or meddling with respect to her academic development.

It's just a no brainer that kids don't always perform to their best ability if they are hungry.  [/quote]
