[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone says they're bad, but most of them are ok to me. I work in ES and have learned which ones to avoid. We don't qualify for free lunch, but this year all kids were eligible. I made my kids either pack their own lunch or get school lunch, and they opted for school lunch almost every day. Saved me a lot of hassle and I think it's good for kids to try new foods and know that this is what is being served and just eat it.

How many kids buy vs. pack varies by school. Where I teach its about 75% school lunch.[/quote]

I agree that school lunch is easier, but I disagree about trying ‘new foods’.  It’s a pretty standard rotation of the same several items in MCPS.  It’s not like they’re serving sushi and injera.  (Which is fine - just commenting that school lunch won’t expand your kid’s palate.)[/quote]

New as in different than what they're used to. This summer there was some kind of pizza pocket that was weird to a lot of the kids. But eventually, they ate it because that's what's for lunch. My own kids tended to get bratty about food and wanting it a certain way, or choosing something and then trying to choose something else after it had been served. A year of school lunches was a good experience for our family.[/quote]
