[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to think of DCPs as a social service agency, not just a school system.  The community needs its hot lunch![/quote]

For the 100000th time. THE KIDS DONT EAT THE LUNCH! They say it's nasty. You would be surprised how much is thrown away. If it's not pizza,  it's trash. [/quote]

This was the first thing that shocked me when I became a teacher. They throw so much food in the trash. Some just punch in their code, grab a nugget or two off the tray, and throw the rest in the trash. When I taught at a charter, we used to make them put their fruit in a separate bin and sit it at the front during dismissal next to those small clear trash bags. A handful of parents would load up with dozens of apples, pears, bananas, and oranges. We don't have that at my current school. Everything goes in the trash. [/quote]

I don't doubt that some kids don't eat much of their lunch.  However, when I dropped my kid off at her EOTP school around 10:30, there was a kid inside asking the security guard whether they were serving breakfast today.  Perhaps this kid had already had breakfast at home and just wanted a second breakfast at school, but I don't doubt that there are a significant proportion of kids who rely on schools for meals.

I don't think that school necessarily needs to be open, but perhaps some of them still can serve meals when closed for inclement weather.[/quote]
