[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and I'm going to get flamed for this but....unless there are extenuating circumstances or poverty issues , we feel it's better for the kids to have at least one meal with their families. (And a Nutrigrain bar in the car to daycare doesn't count.) It is hard for the majority of kids to be in a large group setting for 10+ hours and they need a break from the crowd and some down time. I understand that if you work a late shift, maybe a dinner at home is impossible but try to at least sit down to breakfast together. Again, I'm not talking about parents who can't afford healthy meals - we should help them - but in our upper-income area it can be sad and a little annoying when parents leave their kids with us from 7 to 6:30 and then complain that we've only given them two meals and two snacks. They are your kids...carve out some time![/quote]
