[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids really sit on the floor to eat??!?

Where are the cafeteria tables? [/quote]

The cafeteria might have space for like 200 kids, if that. What is a school of 2000 going to do, have 10 lunches? Of course kids eat elsewhere. I ate sitting on the floor in the hallway with my friends at RMHS 20 years ago, with one open lunch for everyone, and we thought it was absolutely fine. [/quote]

Eww that is nasty af

I guess large overcrowding schools are no big deal here. We had grade level lunches and there were tables for everyone. Definitely looking into private schools for middle and high school. [/quote]

That’s rich.  Good luck with that.  But, if you want the slow math track and dumb down your kids, private is the way to go.  [/quote]

Give me a break on the bashing of private schools. My DD graduated Holton taking multivariable calculus as a senior.  She also knew how to write papers, won the state chemathon and got a huge scholarship to her top college.

She had breakfast, lunch, and snacks served at Holton as they were not allowed to bring food from home in.   They had enough tables/chairs in the cafe or courtyard so the girls could sit and eat.  And since they didn't allow cell phones in school, it was a nice environment with healthy food and conversation. Here is the menu this week.  https://mgdining.com/holton-arms/menus/

So give me a break on the "must eat on the floor to get a high math class" crap. [/quote]

Kids don’t need breakfast and snacks at school.  No one care what they feeds the kids.  I’d rather pack my kids lunch.  Our kids can write papers and mine will still be a year ahead of yours in math.  But we don’t need financial aid as we saved for college.  Too bad you did notbbb[/quote]

She didn’t say her daughter got financial aid - she got a SCHOLARSHIP to a TOP school. Scholarships are offered for achievement and merit and are independent of financial aid.

And another note, private school parents can pay for private school and save for college at the same time. Magic![/quote]

Private school parents who have a lot of money can do that, yes. It's not magic, other than the magic of having a lot of money.[/quote]

That we work hard for. Mmmmkay?[/quote]
