[quote=Anonymous]One of you should go in and volunteer in lunch one day.  Even the 25min is not a true 25min.  Teachers are late all the time, kids need to find their lunch box and the aides make them clean up 5-7min ahead of time so they make it out to recess.  It is really sad how quickly and forced lunch is. If he can't open something, you have to raise your hand until someone comes over.  ugh!!  If you think the bag lunch kids have it bad, you should see the pizza line on Friday.  I have seen kids get their lunch after waiting 18min in line and have 3min to scarf down a few bites and throw the rest away.

You are lucky he brings the food home.  I watch TONS of kids dump their bento boxes, containers, all food.  It is a shame.  Anyway, maybe if DH sees the limited time, he will be more inclined to give in on this.  And honestly, if you get whole wheat bread, natural PB and low sugar jelly - it is pretty darn healthy.  That said, if he wants other things maybe he just isn't getting a change.

If you want to pack that mac n cheese, make sure the thermos is not too tight (have him practice) and the pack carrots.  Nothing else.  See what he comes home with.  DH might be packing too many options and he is picking the quickest to scarf down. This go-gurts are HARD to open so he may just give up.   I always do 3 things in one container - nothing more.  If I do a thermos of leftovers or soup, then either a fruit OR veggie in a baggie.  Thats it.

Good luck[/quote]
