[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here we go. OP asked a specific question. Pretty sure she and her daughter, over the many years of education they’ve managed together, have realized that bringing lunch to school is an option.

Yes, my kid does this and I work at a school and see the lunch portions. They are very small.

Through the many years of education we’ve managed together, we’ve learned that taking lunch to school is an option. Kid does not select this option, while my other kid does. [/quote]

So why wouldn’t you bring a lunch? Especially if school portions aren’t enough food? [/quote]
NP, but based on my kids I’m guessing that the kid doesn’t leave enough time in the morning to make their lunch and doesn’t want to do it the night before. My kids don’t particularly love school lunch but they like making a lunch even less, and I’m not packing a lunch for a 12 year old so it’s on them to do it. [/quote]

Why? It’s your job as a parent to feed them.  If you would rather school feed them slop when you can afford better but don’t feel like it, that is laziness [/quote]

Disagree. We have the same rules at our house for our 12yo and 14yo- pack your own lunch or eat the blah school food. Their choice. It is our job to make food available  (and we always have a nice variety to choose from )- it is their choice to take 5min to pack it or not. 14yo usually packs hers, 12yo sometimes does, sometimes eats school food. I’m not going to pack lunches at this age. If other parents choose to do so- hey, great. [/quote]
